Mumford & Sons
A mere seven months on from the arrival of RUSHMERE, the band’s long anticipated number one album in March 2025, Mumford & Sons take full advantage of a prolific period of songwriting with another full-length record in quick succession.
Co-produced and co-written with The National’s Aaron Dessner who the band previously worked with on their third record Wilder Mind, Prizefighter captures the band at their most open and instinctive. In just ten days, they’d written more than an album’s worth of songs, and a collection that feels both deeply personal, instinctive and unguardedly communal. Marcus Mumford’s lyrics grapple with resilience and striving, singing with a mix of confidence and urgency.
