Mumford & Sons to “tear down” their sound
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 7 October 2010
In a new interview with the NME, Mumford & Sons have said they want to start with a blank page in terms of writing and recording their second album.
Keyboard player Ben Lovett told the magazine: “I would like – to an extent – to tear down everything we built with [debut album] ‘Sigh No More’ and start again with the second album. There are things in our lives that carry more weight and substance than simply saying, ‘Things are going really well, let’s write some songs about that.’ There’s more to life than the success of this band”.
Frontman Marcus Mumford added that coming back with the same sound again may work against them: “We’ve had a very long honeymoon period. I’m sure that people will start disliking us more publicly, because our music is becoming more public and not everyone is going to like it”.
Ben Lovett put together a Powers Of Ten playlist for CMU Weekly earlier this year. Now would seem like a good time to link to it.
