Mumford & Sons | ‘Home’

Word on the street is that Mumford & Sons have been testing out new material on the road for a while, but until now, no high quality recordings of songs off of the announced EP have surfaced. The track is slower, more drawn out and more subtle, reminiscent of songs like “Sigh No More” and “After the Storm”, but missing the hypnotic ‘catchiness’ of “Little Lion Man”, which is quite alright with me. “Home/untitled” has a tour-exhausted melancholy to it, which has traditionally be indicative of an upcoming Masterpiece (Fleet Foxes Helplessness Blues, Bon Iver Bon Iver, or even Dylan’s Basement Tapes) The song showcases a maturing group, hopefully well on their way to releasing a masterful sophomore album. Now this is all premature, but regardless, I am very excited to see this recording, as you should be too.
