Mumford And Sons have released a video for "Lover Of The Light". It is the second official single taken from their second album "Babel" that was released on iTunes on September 21, 2012 via Island Records and Glassnote.
The official music video directed by Idris Elba and Dan Cadan was released on November 5. The British actor Idris Elba appears as the main role on it. Check out the video down below, which was directed by and stars Stringer Bell from The Wire.
Mumford and Sons are set to release "The Road To Red Rocks" on January 22nd in North America, a film documenting (as the title probably told you already) the band's two recent shows at Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheater.
The cinematic clip, which stars and was co-directed by U.K. actor Idris Elba (Luther), follows a blind man’s journey out of his home (where he appears to be grieving the loss of a lover) and out into the forest. As he runs through the woods, his confidence surges — and a sort of joy blossoms on his face — until he arrives at a cliff side and yells his heart out to the ocean. He’s alive! In a world of darkness, he loves the light.
I love folk music, especially old traditional folk music, but I'm just not a fan of the sort of nü-folk like this that you would hear in a modern western/historical drama. I like the real stuff better (for lack of a better term), not this surreal sort of floaty sounding stuff that's so popular in the genre today.
Well put. Crossover folk bands like this are just a trend right now. They write simple pop songs, then play them acoustically and drench it all in banjo arpeggios. Chicks dig it though, so i'm sure it will stick around for a while
I disagree with the both of you. not because these dudes are my idols are anything but Mumford and sons have gotten my friends into folk and bluegrass. M&S made them want to dig deeper into the forgotton culture of banjo music. These guys focus on dynamic. If you dont have dynamic in your song, you dont have a song worth listening to.
