Indie folk stars Mumford & Sons have just revealed that their sophomore album has been completed. The news comes directly from NME who got the chance to talk to keyboardist Ben Lovett. So, when will we have the chance to head this follow up record. Find out below.
Mumford and Sons have propelled from obscurity to stardom at lightning fast speed thanks to their hit single “Little Lion Man,” one of the few songs so good that we didn’t mind every alt-rock station in America playing it three times an hour. Fortunately, the album from whence that track came, Sigh No More, was every bit as good as we could have hoped, assuring listeners that the band was the real deal.
They are also hard workers, it seems. Spinner reports that they already plan to record a new album later on this year.
Mumford And Sons really shined at the Grammy’s Sunday, yes? The Mumford moment kept going this week by taking home the top prize at the 2011 Brit Awards this evening (February 15). The band won the MasterCard British Album Of The Year prize for Sigh No More.
Arcade Fire, fresh off their Grammy for Album of the Year, took home two awards (International Group and International Album), while other winners included Rihanna for International Female Solo Artist and Justin Bieber (who?) for International Breakthrough.
