#239 Mumford and Sons - Sigh no More

Third and last one from the Dave batch.

This time going into plucked, lush, anthemic country, sounding a bit like late-era Blitzen Trapper, Mountain Goats, Okkervil River or Dan Mangan. Which is not a bad thing, its actually generally listenable, powerful and well-paced. The main knock on it is that man, this album is tortured. This guy obviously went through some kind of breakup, because it is all epic pain, regret, resentment and loss. It's a good album to have around if you're going through that kind of stuff, and a better than decent one regardless 3.5/5
