“Mumford & Sons is supposed to be fun,” he told me. Mumford, the group’s principal songwriter, is aware of the sometimes skeptical popular conception of his very popular band, which he wearily summarizes as “banjos and waistcoats.” (They used to employ a lot of both.) But he’s also clear-eyed about what has brought Mumford & Sons so much success, which is a counterintuitively simple idea: They aim to show people a good time.
This may be your experience of Mumford & Sons, too, one of the last remaining commercial juggernauts of the past decade: propulsive, anthemic, overtly sincere folk music overheard, if not deliberately listened to, in too many places to name or recollect.
