Mumford & Sons are a English folk rock band, created in 2007 and formed by Markus Mumford (vocals, guitar, drums and mandolin), Ben Lovett (vocals, accordion, drums and keyboards), Country Winston Marshall (vocals, guitar, dobro and banjo) and Ted Dwane (vocals, drums, guitar and string bass).
They appeared around the same time as bands and artists like Laura Marling and Noah And The Whale.
For more details about them, check Ana's post.
They've just released one album in 2009, Sigh No More, seven EPs and a live album.
A new one was announced by Ben Lovett on Mumford & Sons' show at Pinkpop festival, The Netherlands on May 28th, that was going to be released on September 24th 2012 but the band's representative said it might have been a little premature.
So there are big expectations for the band's new album being release during this year.
Roll Away Your Stone was released has the forth single of their debut Sigh No More and the lyrics have clear Christian influences, due to Markus Mumford childhood education from his parents. There's a website - Shoreline - that describes this song perfectly.
On Shoreline's post, you can read
"It think that this simple but poetic verse gives a lot of insight into how grace can be practiced. In this verse, the singer contemplates being able to start over and to accept redemption, and knows that grace is supposed to work. Yet, the most powerful line come in the end. He realizes that it is not the punishment or pain that truly caused him to except grace, but it was that moment that he realized he would be welcomed back with open arms and no condition that he was changed."
A excellent explanation about this powerful song that reflects about accepting redemption and there's no pain or punishment but only grace to embrace others and help them.
Mumford & Sons are performing on the second day of Optimus Alive, alongside artists like Noah And The Whale and Florence And The Machine. Don't miss their performance.
