English folk rock band Mumford & Sons

Brit Dopers, have any of you listened to Mumford & Sons? A coworker heard them on a British radio stations on iTunes and she’s done nothing but rave about them. Today, the CD Sigh No More she ordered last October finally arrived, and she gave it to me to listen. Wow!

Such a rich, soulful, passionate sound! Their lyrics are equally heartfelt. I’m only halfway through my first listen but I think I may be in love with them too!

“Plant your hope with good seeds, don’t cover yourself with thistle and weeds.” — “Thistle & Weeds”

I’ve been hearing a little bit of buzz about them recently - TV ads, and Last.FM picked a track of theirs out for me too. Very impressed. Here’s the track (not the music video) of Thistle & Weeds. And I like this one too - a bit more upbeat: Winter Winds (HD music video).

According to my friend they’re going to release their CD in the United States in March. It will be interesting to see if they gain a following.
