The cinematography and stylization in the video itself is great, and I love the whole idea of playing for the empty theater. Marcus Mumford, the lead singer (no, the other members of the band aren't his sons), has a very distinct voice and, as I was fascinated with seeing while viewing music videos on YouTube (who needs MTV anymore?), that he also plays the bass drum and tambourine with foot pedals in the video for Little Lion Man, one of my favorite, most rousing and field-twirling-worthy singles on the album. Mumford & Sons have their own distinct style and voice, however. I also occasionally get impressions reminiscent of Flogging Molly with its rousing bouts of fast-strumming banjo, or The Goo Goo Dolls, one of my favorite bands, with its similar showcases of twinkling mandolin that seems to brighten any song it's featured in. Some of the harmonization reminds me of that of the Soggy-Bottom Boys in O Brother, Where Art Thou, but only for an instant. The album alternates between loaded silence and serenity, very simply arranged, to a full, gallivanting orchestra, so fast-paced and lively I can just see myself twirling through gold-tinted fields in a Polaroid snapshot. Hints of keyboard, mandolin, accordion, banjo, upright bass, guitar and so on shine through to various degrees depending on the mood of each song. The band consists of four men who all play a multitude of instruments and alternate on various songs within the album. I downloaded every song I could find all of their album, Sigh No More, and a few more, I think. Which might still happen.Eventually.Īnyway, I recently stumbled upon the London-based indie-folk group, Mumford & Sons.

Greetings to whoever held out hope on checking this blog again! It's Zatarra again, posting on a whim based on a new obsession of mine and the memory of this feeble little blog that hasn't been touched since June, with my attempt on creating a "Cinemablographer" series of movie reviews.
