Mumford & Sons

When I woke up this morning, I had never heard of Mumford & Sons, and when I first read an excerpt from an interview with Jake Gyllenhaal where he mentions them, the first thing I thought of was Sanford and Son.  Ten seconds later in my usual procrastination internet rounds, I saw that they are in fact a band playing at 930 club in May.  Well if Jake loves them and they're coming to 930, I had to listen.  Next thing I know, I've listened to their songs on myspace several times, watched their videos on YouTube, and bought their album on my phone.  Of course when I get home I decide to read some old NME's ALJ (gah!) gave me, and whose on the cover but Mumford.  Someone clearly wants me to become obsessed with this band.

And if you listen to these two songs, I have a feeling you will be obsessed too, as it seems is the rest of the UK.
