Editor's note

Mumford & Sons' stomping folk anthems and electric shifts

A London band that started with banjo-driven energy before moving toward rock textures.

If you want the early, stomping folk sound, 'Little Lion Man' is still the place to start. For something later, 'I Will Wait' shows that anthemic quality holding up.

That first album 'Sigh No More' gave them an immediate identity, especially with 'Little Lion Man' and its raw delivery. The banjo-driven energy felt fresh in 2009, and songs like 'I Will Wait' kept that folk-rock vein going strong. Even after they set aside the acoustic instruments, those early anthems are what most people still know them for.

They came together in London around 2007, with Marcus Mumford on lead vocals and guitar. Their debut 'Sigh No More' arrived in 2009, followed by 'Babel' in 2012. By 2015's 'Wilder Mind,' they had largely set aside the banjo for a more electric rock sound, and Winston Marshall left the band in 2021.

Archive material and source history

Mumford & Sons came together in London around 2007, with Marcus Mumford on lead vocals and guitar, Ben Lovett on keys and accordion, Winston Marshall on banjo, and Ted Dwane on bass. Their debut album 'Sigh No More' arrived in 2009, and its single 'Little Lion Man' became a breakout hit. The song's raw delivery and banjo-driven energy gave them an immediate identity.

They followed with 'Babel' in 2012, which continued in a similar folk-rock vein with songs like 'I Will Wait.' By 2015's 'Wilder Mind,' they had largely set aside the banjo and acoustic instruments for a more electric rock sound. Later albums like 'Delta' and their 2022 self-titled record explored different textures, but those early, stomping folk anthems remain what most people know them for.

Winston Marshall, who played banjo and contributed backing vocals, left the band in 2021. The group has continued as a trio with Mumford, Lovett, and Dwane.
