NEW MUSIC THAT MATTERS

EAR-WORTHY MUSIC — EPISODE: PRIZEFIGHTER by Mumford & Sons

(“Rubber Band Man” Clip)

When you bring in Gracie Abrams, Hozier, and Chris Stapleton as features on your album, you’re not just stacking names . . . you’re stacking tone.

(“New Music that Matters” Opener)

Remember when Mumford & Sons were all banjos and stomp-claps?

This isn’t that.

(“The Banjo Song” Clip)

I say that… and then track three is literally called “The Banjo Song.”

Anyway —

The album is Prizefighter, their sixth project – and it feels like a band that’s grown up without losing their emotional core.

(“Shadow Of A Man” Clip)

That right there is “Shadow Of A Man.”

Not a single — at least not yet — but it’s the ear-worthy track of the album for me.

(more “Shadow Of A Man” Clip of “All I ever wanted was a reason to believe”)

That lyric right there is what locked me in on this song.

You’ve grown up since their first album — and so have Mumford & Sons.

Go spend some time with Prizefighter.

(Closing Still of “New Music that Matters”)
