Mumford & Sons - Little Lion Man
These guys are my latest musical obsession.
Anyone else like them?

Music is a total constant. That’s why we have such a strong visceral connection to it, you know? Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song says the same, just like that moment.

I looove little lion man! They're not played enough on the radio in my opinion.. They're British aren't they?
edit: I just watched that video for the first time... is that a double-bass? and a banjo?? wow
I just listened to 'the cave' too - I love the banjo in that.

I had a feeling that you might like them Doll!
Yeah Little Lion Man is awesome! Easily one of my favourite songs from this year. And the banjo in it is heaps awesome. Yeah I think they are British, though on first listen I almost thought the singer sounded a little Scottish. Don't know why though lol.
I heard a rumour that they were coming to Australia later this year so *fingers crossed* it turns out to be true. I think they'd be pretty awesome to see live!

I just heard their latest song off the album - it's awesome! I was listening to it in the car and I was like: 'I know this singer' and when I found out it was Mumford and Sons it all made sense, he definitely has a distinctive voice... and yeah something about it does sound a little Scottish - could be the folky-ness though I think they're from England
I definitely want Sigh No More for Christmas!

Also, I just listened to 'White Blank Page' (think I'm becoming a little obsessed too!) and it's amaazing, the lyrics are so.. heart wrenching:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbaL2bnQcSo
Can you lie next to her and give her your heart, your heart?
As well as your body, and can you lie next to her and confess your love, your love?
As well as your folly and can you kneel before this king and say ‘I’m clean’, ‘I’m clean’?
But tell me now where was my fault, in loving you with my whole heart?
Oh tell me now where was my fault, in loving you with my whole heart?
Her white blank page and a swelling rage, rage
You did not think when you sent me to the brink, to the brink
You desired my attention but denied my affections, affections
But tell me now where was my fault, in loving you with my whole heart?
Oh tell me now where was my fault, in loving you with my whole heart?
Lead my to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life
Lead my to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life
