Impressed

So I stumbled upon a band today known as Mumford & Sons and the only thing I can say after an initial listen to there album Sigh No More is "holy shit I'm impressed." This record literally has me blown away right now. It's by far the best record recently released that I have listened to front to back since maybe Boxer by The National. I might be quick in making that large of a claim about it, but man this music makes me want to go climb an enormous mountain or do something amazing right now. I mean most albums I hear have some good tracks here and there but you just hit this point on most albums where there's this lull and everything sounds the same. Like the new Joanna Newsom for instance. Don't get me wrong I think she's a very talented artist and I like some of her music, but her new album "Have One On Me" bored me to no end. It's 18 tracks most of them over 6 minutes or more and it just is so damn repetitive and boring. I am sure Pitchfork will still find it necessary to give it a 9/10 record review. Anyway, this Mumford & Sons record is basically the antithesis of this. I posted a music video of the song Winter Winds from the album below to give you an idea of how awesome this band is. I am just so psyched on this right now. Enjoy.



Also, I've been waiting for the New P's to release a track from their new album coming in May and here it is:
