Come 2015, when Wilder Mind saw spring release, so many bands had copped their big-footed folk jamboree that Mumford \u0026amp; Sons could feel the straitjacket constricting, so it's not a surprise that the group decided to try on something new. Without their old-timey affectations, they wind up sounding like handsome AAA rockers with a debt to U2, a group that masters sound over song. They do swing for arena-filling hooks and connect -- the quietly escalating \"Believe,\" the incessant surge of \"The Wolf,\" \"Ditmas,\" which is the only song here that would scale to bare-bones acoustic arrangements -- but usually they subsist on a simmer, letting their immaculate, tasteful rock bubble quietly. Often, the persistent, moody murmur recalls a diluted Kings of Leon, a comparison that underscores how Mumford \u0026amp; Sons have made the journey from retro throwback to glistening modern construction. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2015-05-04\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: ROCK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2015-05-04\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mumford \u0026 Sons","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45221851365491,"sku":"YZ895C-4QBX-2A","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/mumford-sons-wilder-mind_MbGae.jpg?v=1783819226","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/mumford-sons-wilder-mind-1","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
