‘Babel’ is the follow up to Mumford & Sons multi-platinum ‘Sigh
No More’.
“We are more than excited to release Babel into the world,” Mumford &
Sons reveal, “We had started writing new songs well before we got into the
studio to record. At first, we peeled ourselves off the road quite reluctantly.
We love playing live, obviously, but it had also become an important part of our
creative process, we had been writing and rehearsing in soundchecks, and sort of
‘road-testing’ new songs on our very gracious audiences. But then we fell in
love with recording again. The album started to come together, and with the help
of Markus Dravs once more (and engineer Robin Baynton), we started to relish the
challenge of making this album. As a band, we've never been closer or more
collaborative, all working to our strengths. And so we feel that this record is
a natural progression that we're proud of, and we cannot wait to take it out on
the road.”
