Mumford & Sons Babel LP

Via Gentlemen of the Road/Cooperative Music verschijnt op 21 september het
langverwachte nieuwe album van Mumford & Sons. Het twaalf nummers tellende Babel is
geproduceerd door Markus Dravs en is de opvolger van het debuutalbum Sigh No More uit
2009.
"We are more than excited to release Babel into the world. We had started writing new
songs well before we got into the studio to record. At first, we peeled ourselves off the road
quite reluctantly. We love playing live, obviously, but it had also become an important part
of our creative process, we had been writing and rehearsing in soundchecks, and sort of
road-testing new songs on our very gracious audiences. But then we fell in love with
recording again. The album started to come together, and with the help of Markus Dravs
once more (and engineer Robin Baynton), we started to relish the challenge of making this
album. As a band, we’ve never been closer or more collaborative, all working to our
strengths. And so we feel that this record is a natural progression that we’re proud of, and
we cannot wait to take it out on the road.”- Mumford & Sons
