nardes Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 "On their new album, Wilder Mind (out May 4th), Mumford & Sons have mostly removed their signature elements – banjo, acoustic strumming, stomping kick drum – and replaced them with U2-sized guitars, synths, spacey mellotrons and even some drum machines. "We felt that doing the same thing, or the same instrumentation again, just wasn’t for us," says frontman Marcus Mumford. "We’ve got a broader taste in music than just that." Adds Dwane, "None of us had really any interest in doing a sort of Babel 2. It was always going to be different.""Read more: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/mumford-sons-talk-going-electric-on-new-album-wilder-mind-20150302#ixzz3TFMy87EI Official aka "Pricey" PreOrder Options: Standard Vinyl PreOrder: http://store.mumfordandsons.com/*/*/Wilder-Mind-12-Vinyl-LP/48PB0000000 7in Collectors Box PreOrder: http://store.mumfordandsons.com/*/*/Wilder-Mind-7-Collectors-Box/499F0000000 The Smarter PreOrder Options: Bull Moose PreOrder: http://www.bullmoose.com/p/18206938/mumford-sons-wilder-mind-vinyl Amazon PreOrder: http://www.amazon.com/Wilder-Man-Mumford-Sons/dp/B00U6AXPOM/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425323736&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=wildern+mind+vinyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmhmm Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 With how many thousands of copies they pressed and sold for their first two albums, the price for this one will probably plummet to $15 (maybe less) later this year when the massive pressing they put out for this album takes up space on store shelves and in warehouses everywhere. nardes and clerk3745 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowBearToe Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Wow, this sucks in many ways haha I'm less concerned with the record price (though it sucks) and more concerned with the drastic change in sound it sounds like they've gone with. Not sure how I feel about that. Also, I thought they were still on a hiatus?haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aju2streets Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 The teaser is not as bad as I was expecting. I'm anticipating what the lead single will be (aka one of the three songs your local alt station will play 3 times an hour for the next year) clerk3745 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrewest Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 "None of us had any interest in doing Sigh No More 3. It was always going to be different." Fixed. But for real, I am much more excited for this album after reading that RS article. Can't wait to hear it. aju2streets and rcafilm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Uhh guys Mumford and Sons are terrible, why would you not want them to change it up? They started this whole faux-authentic earnest-core mason jar folk shit trend, it's up to them to right their wrongs and try to have a net-positive impact on the world. unclepain, SpazzyMcGee and gmoney 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
