Marcus Mumford talks Babel, Bandanas and The Boss!

21 September 2012  
Mumford And Sons scored the feature album this week on Triple J, and The Doctor scored a chat with the gentlemanly lead dude.

(or “sweet lump of guitar slinging man meat”, as The Doctor said on FB)

He talked about their new album, why the big sounding songs require big themes, and how they still don’t have a proper drummer!

They also discussed Ben Mumford’s bandana obsession…
…and the new supergroup Mumford/Springsteen.

Some other things discussed in this interview include which two songs the band will perform on Saturday Night Live on September 22nd, Ted’s multiple doppelgängers, which band member is “never, ever, EVER allowed to play drums,” and much, much more. Listen to the fantastic full interview above.

*Alert*
There are a few seconds each of “I Will Wait,” “Broken Crown,” and “Babel” in this interview, but not the entire songs.

I don't understand why you keep including Ross Holmes as though he's a member of the band, he's not!

- Asked by Anonymous

Should I not include photos of Captain Nick and the Hornblowers and Adam Stockdale and credit them when they play with the band, either?  You realize that both Sigh No More and the forthcoming album would be completely different without the talents and contributions of those musicians, right?  I’m fairly certain that Ben, Marcus, Winston, and Ted would agree that anyone who plays with them is part of their band.  If you check this source and this interview, it’s quite clear that those boys are all about people and fostering community through their music, not exclusivity.

With that said, yes, Ross Holmes is a vital part of Mumford & Sons.  If he wasn’t, forgive me, but this song (and many others) would be lacking something seriously special.
