Mumford and Sons Forgot Their Fiddles
Mumford and Sons has a new album coming out on May 4th (Star Wars day, yay!). In the meantime their new single, "Believe", is out and proud. Conspicuously missing from the song, fiddles. Mumford and Sons sounds different. I support them in their attempt to try something new. Here's the new song. Could use more banjo.
Their new album will demonstrate their electric-instrument-playing-prowess. Marcus Mumford told Rolling Stone, "We felt that doing the same thing, or the same instrumentation again, just wasn’t for us. We’ve got a broader taste in music than just that." I like Mumford and Sons a lot. I like banjos and fiddles a lot. I'm pretty interested to see how this turns out.

So yeah. Good on them for taking a risk and all that. But I bought the first three songs and they just don't have the magic of Babel or the previous album. The electric guitars make them sound a bit generic, and the melodies just aren't as memorable.
