Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
West London band's faux family business actually sounds like a business, one supplying value-added products at discount prices.
-
NME
A fine debut from a band that’s patiently picked up the tools of its trade, and chosen the right moment to give them full rein.
-
Consequence of Sound
These guys sound like they mean it, and such passion in music is always a commendable thing.

Drowned in Sound
Nothing more than an empty shell of a half-decent record.

Pretty Much Amazing
There are glimpses here and there of a band that can take many forms and excel at all of them.

It’s a fist-pumping formula .

An album that is only slightly above average

All Music
An impressive debut, but one that impresses more for its promise of the future.

Independent
Actually, folk music is, like, really good

Commonsense Media
A refreshing take on the standard alt-rock sound, with an infusion of banjo, mandolin, and stand-up bass that give their songs a folksy, bluegrass feel.

LA Music
Everything I love about the folk revival. It’s passionate, sad, beautiful, and inspiring.

Blinded By Sound
You can appreciate the musicianship and vigorous spirit of the Mumfords as yet another entry into an Americana-Folk-Rock genre
-
Beats Per Minute
Deserve to be huge, and with that snowball still rolling in 2010 there’s no reason they won’t be, especially if it makes it across the Atlantic.
-
Cluas
I am greatly impressed by this band: not only is their debut album lovely to listen to, it’s also a real work of art.

Classic Rock Review
They write unforgettable melodies that beg you to hit repeat and infuse a whole bunch of styles to create something amazing.
-
Hear ya
The band pays attention to details, allowing you to get lost in the subtle intricacies and then blown away with big finishes.
-
The Aquarian
In A Word: Fervent
-
Refrain Music
From songs that make you stomp your feet, to make you swoon in harmonic ecstasy, songs that make you think and songs that make you want to find the nearest pub and have a drink.
-
Youth Source
I can whole-heartedly recommend this album!
-
Fense Post
These folked-up troubadours know a thing or two about life, love, regret, and the God-awful power of choice.
-
Pop Matters
This quartet of Londoners puts most American roots-rockers to shame.
-
Seattle PI
You will play from beginning to end without fast forwarding. Like a good book, you will not stop until you’ve consumed it in its entirety.
-
Clash Music
Soul stirring and uplifting
-
Spin
Employ the soft-to-loud strategy with more finesse than most plugged-in rockers.

An almost perfect piece of modern folk, with tunes that linger long after you press stop.

EA's Brain
This is an album not only worth listening to, but worth marinating on, worth contemplating and listening to again.
-
Meadow Party
Still a terrific album despite its hiccups and flaws, one I’ve listened to repeatedly over the last week
-
Soul Surmise
It’s a soul stimulating beauty of a record and they tell me they are even better live.
-
Baeble Music
The recipe may be borrowed, but it finds fresh application in their hands.
-
Contact Music
A collection of carefully constructed songs that brim with passion while occasionally having enough pop leanings to remain radio friendly.
-
The Current
An album that makes you believe in the power in music. Mumford and Sons songs make you feel like we are all in this so-called life together.
-
Mockingbird
The result is some of the best folk/bluegrass/rock music I’ve heard in a long time.
-
2 Oceans Vibe
This band have done the impossible. They’ve made music good enough to live down their terrible name.

Popdose
A nicely engaging listen.

If you haven't heard their album yet, I'd definitely suggest buying it if you do like indie music. I don't think you'll regret it one bit.
-
Central Recorder
Keep Mumford & Sons in mind with their debut the next time you’re in the mood for some mellow folk.
-
Star Tribune
The songs are as volatile as grunge. There's the momentum of a hoedown to carry him through.
-
The Other Journal
Something beautiful, something real.
-
Of Buckley and Beatles
All in all, the album is spectacular.
-
Everybody's
Feel the fire in your belly and the romance in your heart as you listen, let your voice break into rapture – and you too sigh no more.
-
Dawn
Isn’t to say that Sigh no more doesn’t contain some excellent songs with a refreshing new sound in rock. Rock ‘n’ roll might be dead, but it sure isn’t because of these guys
-
Ugly Rumor
The kind of record that should be universally acclaimed.
-
Redbrick
A breath of fresh air in today's generic-Indie swamped charts. A beautiful album, for beautiful moments.
