• Track Listing

We’ve already seen Mumford & Sons evolve from bucolic folk to anthemic rock. Now, liberated by their rejection of a defining (that is to say, limiting) genre, the London band have created their most eclectic album. Even as Mumford & Sons bring back their acoustic instruments, "Delta" weaves jazz, hip-hop and electronica into a sprawling new sound, with bold production by Paul Epworth (Adele, Coldplay). Sobering life realities enter into the lyrics, but the band were clearly inspired as they wrote and recorded "42," "Guiding Light," "Woman," "Beloved," "The Wild" and more. CD or double vinyl!
