Mumford & Sons released their debut album, Sigh No More, in 2010. It blended their unique take on the classic folk blueprint with an exhilarating and euphoric sound more akin to a rock band and simultaneously helped to revive one of music’s earliest genres into a new century. It’s a sound that has since taken them on an incredible journey.
Through four albums, the British band has accumulated various awards for their work, notably, two BRIT Awards, two Grammy Awards (including the Album of the Year), multi-platinum album successes across the globe, a string of festival headlining performances (including Glastonbury), and selling out arenas tour after tour.
RUSHMERE, the title of their latest album, is the spot where it all began for Mumford & Sons. The pond, located on Wimbledon Common in south-west London, is where Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, and Ted Dwane first hung out and imagined the initial idea of putting a band together. RUSHMERE was as familiar to them as the instruments they played and is at the heart of their origin story.
The album was produced by nine-time Grammy winner Dave Cobb and recorded at RCA Studio A in Nashville, in Savannah, GA, and back in the U.K. at Marcus’ studio in Devon.
