In November, Mumford & Sons will release their new and fourth album "Delta" (incidentally, the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet) and have been pleasing their fan base for a week now with the acoustic foretaste "Guiding Light". The first single of the record is a classic Mumford piece with guitar, banjo, piano and harmony vocals, but you can hear the fuller and more balanced production. New musical ideas combine beautifully with traditional songwriting to create a greater whole. In the ten years since the breakthrough single "Little Lion Man" and the multi-gold and platinum debut "Sigh No More", Marcus Mumford and his boys Ben Lovett, Ted Dwane and Winston Marshall have continued to develop harmonically and have gone from being a traditional folk-rock band to one of the most successful acts worldwide. After their last record "Wilder Mind" and the "Johannesburg"-EP they were looking for a new musical language that would organically combine their origins and recent electronic excursions. With "Delta" they succeeded in doing just that, and "Guiding Light" is the perfect example of that: a jubilant piece deeply rooted in traditional songwriting that simultaneously soars, grows bigger, and downright explodes. "Delta" is compelling in its dynamic range, its alternation of introspective songs and arena anthems, and its many musical nuances, shades, colors, and textures. It describes the process of the past decade as much as it shows a great band at the top of their game. Mumford & Sons are fully aware of their quality and confident enough to prove it. They are embarking on a 60-date tour of 13 countries at the end of the year, which will also take them to Germany for four concerts next May.
