we have a lot of songs to share with you…and it all begins where we started, really, with “Rushmere”.
we’re restless to get going, relieved and excited to share this first one with you.”
-the lads
It’s the first new music from the band since their “Good People” collaboration with Pharrell last year. The last album for Mumford & Sons was Delta in 2018. Through four albums, the British band have accumulated two BRIT Awards, two Grammy Awards (including Album of the Year), multiple chart-topping, multi-platinum album successes right across the globe, a string of festival headlining performances, and selling out arenas with their biggest numbers to date in the U.S. in conclusion of the Delta tour in 2019. Since the band’s last album release, they’ve explored solo passions. During a particularly prolific run of recent songwriting inspiration, it’s led them back to the magic of where it all started for them in a leafy suburb of London. Rushmere is the spot where it all began for Mumford & Sons, located on Wimbledon Common in south-west London, is where Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett and Ted Dwane first hung out and imagined the initial idea of putting a band together. Rushmere is the beginning for Mumford & Sons’ next phase, and it follows an intense period of creativity following the departure from the band of Winston Marshall in 2021.
