the link to british folk revival doesn't really explain the sound either. contributions) 23:14, 18 February 2014 (UTC) Fair enough.Andrzejbanas ( talk) 22:54, 18 February 2014 (UTC) I understand that there is a nu-folk section in the British folk revival article, but that doesn't make it a genre (sounds to me more like a time period rather than anything musically distinct). I'm going to revert your edit for now as there is no citation for folk-rock, but I'll note that's it's under discussion. Also, there is "nu-folk" cited within the article as there is pop. contributions) 15:11, 18 February 2014 (UTC) Hello, there is a description of "nu-folk" within the "British folk revival" section, that is too short for it's own article.
I fail to see how Mumford and Sons fits in here. The "pop music" genre includes such artists as Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber. The word "pop" is a conflated (and often contentious) phrase used by critics to typically denote anything that is mainstream or melodic. Ignoring the ridiculousness that the phrase "nu folk" can mean 2 completely different things based on the (non)-omission of a hyphen, I'd like to stress a line from WP:GWAR: "A BIG RED FLAG should be raised whenever a GW adds a genre to an infobox which redirects elsewhere- a bit of a giveaway that either they haven't thought it out, or the 'genre' is insufficiently distinct to be worthy of a mention in its own right." I think the term is vague, poorly defined, and not as helpful as simply linking to " folk rock", which has been the agreed upon genre in the band's infobox and hard to dispute.įurthermore, I must dispute the pop genre being added. Furthermore, there are 2 possibly relevant redirect links available: nu folk, which goes to indie folk, and nu-folk, which goes to freak folk. First of all, the "Nu-folk" link redirects to British folk revival, which is not a genre in itself, but rather a music history article that details a number of revivals of folk music by British artists. I do not agree with the genres Dan56 is adding to the infobox.

Just because of its title and biblical references in the lyrics? Find that rather unconvincing. Album DescriptionI can't find sources for the fact that Babel was released as single, is the information correct? - Tia solzago ( talk) 20:30, 14 October 2012 (UTC) Gospel?

Where once they carved their music out of reclaimed wood, they're now all steel and glass - a bit sleeker but also a bit chillier. Often, the persistent, moody murmur recalls a diluted Kings of Leon, a comparison that can't help but underscore how Mumford & Sons have made the journey from retro throwback to glistening modern construction. Sometimes, the band do swing for arena-filling hooks and connect - the quietly escalating "Believe," the incessant surge of "The Wolf," "Ditmas," which is the only song here that would scale to bare-bones acoustic arrangements - but usually they subsist on a simmer, letting their immaculate, tasteful rock bubble quietly without ever threatening to spill over the edge. Without their old-timey affectations, the band seems interchangeable with any number of blandly attractive AAA rockers, a group that favors sound over song - a curious switch for a purportedly old-fashioned quartet. A change in fashion isn't strange - no band wants to be pigeonholed - but the odd thing about Wilder Mind is now that everybody else sounds like Mumford & Sons, Mumford & Sons decide to sound like everybody else. Who could blame Mumford & Sons for running away from their signature banjo stomp? Come 2015, when Wilder Mind saw spring release, so many bands had copped their big-footed folk jamboree that Mumford & Sons could feel the straitjacket constricting, so it's not a surprise that the group decided to try on something new. Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs.
