Mumford and Sons to Record New Album

Mumford and Sons are due to record their second album later on this year according to Clash Music.

The bands debut album Sigh No More has sold one million copies in both the UK and America and the lads have just finished a series of shows in village halls, local churches and other spots in the Highlands.

"We want to get the second album recorded this year, and we’re hoping to have gigged the record in before going to the studio," Ben Lovett told Rolling Stone.

The new album is again set to be recorded with the producer of the debut album, Marcus Dravs, "I think we could perhaps record it ourselves, but we’d get lost in our own sorts," Lovett said. "He’s really good at bringing a little bit of structure and order to very disorganized minds."

 Lover of the Light is one of Lovett's favourites from the new material, "Some people have heard it, we’ve been playing it for about eight months now," Lovett said.

"I think that should go all the way through the next record, but ultimately we’re trying to write better and better songs, and songs that are truer to ourselves. And if we end up writing 10 to 15 songs better than that one, it will just have to sit on the B Side of the tape somewhere."
