Mumford & Sons

An awe inspiring band, to say the least.  I have never heard a band like this.  Every aspect of their sound appeals to me.  They combine a soaring, peaceful folk sound with a serene, organic acoustic overlay that is simply perfect.  Even though the sound is perfect, it wouldn't be anything without the lyrics that are added to it.  Their message that is attached to each song echos in my mind.
For a music lover such as myself, I find it very difficult to put a genre on this band.  I continue to try, but the only genre that comes to mind is a visual band.  When I hear this music, it simply makes me want to look at old pictures and reflect upon how I have become the person that I am today.  I also listen to this band on my iPod before I go to sleep a lot of the time.  It's amazing how easily I fall asleep to this music.  It's like a lulliby to peace. 
So...yea.  There are 4 people in this band...I think.  I'm sure they have some guests every now and then, but for all intensive purposes, I say 4.  Therefore, 4 is right, because I said so. 

I mean... come on.  Does that not look like a band that you would find on some corner in New Orleans?  Then, you give them a chance, and you're like "O my god.  This is the greatest band in the history of history!"  Yea.  It's amazing.  They literally give me faith and challenge my musicianship.  < I'm pretty sure that's a word. 

One of the greatest memories I have with this band is in Costa Rica.  I was sitting on the front porch of the Ecolodge in MonteVerde.  I found this guitar and started playing some Mumford & Sons.  A good bit of people knew the music I was playing, and they started singing with me.  It was beautiful.  I wish I had a voice like the lead singer of this band.  His pitch is practically perfect.  I envy that type of voice. 

Rumors have it that later in this year they're going to release a new CD.  I can't wait for that CD if they do release it. 

Well...I'm out.  Always double bag it.  Later
