I recently heard Mumford & Sons' debut album, Sigh No More, after being introduced to the band via Laura Marling's cover of their song "Roll Away Your Stone." You can read my full review of the album over on Pretty Much Amazing, but in short, I thought it had brilliant moments that sacrificed some of their power due to the repetitive nature of the album.
That repetition, however, shouldn't take away from those brilliant moments individually. The band has mastered the folk rock tension and release that makes for stunning songs, and a couple really deserve to be highlighted (highlit?)
The best song on the disc, in my opinion, is "Little Lion Man." It's awesome. I won't waste time trying to describe it - check it out if you like organic rock tracks, it's worth your time.
My other favorite tune on the record is "Winter Winds." The song has nicely spaced out banjo strums and picks, some stomp-tambourine percussion, and a delicious horn section. Get on this while it's hot, these guys are gonna be big.
