Mumford & Sons have announced details of their new album, “RUSHMERE”, their first since 2018’s “Delta”. It is set for release on 28th March through Island EMI Group. To coincide with this announcement, the band has also shared its debut single and the album’s title track. The band released their debut album, “Sigh No More”, back in 2009 and through four albums, they have accumulated various awards for their work, notably two BRIT Awards, two GRAMMY Awards (including the prestigious Album of the Year), multiple chart-topping, multi-platinum album successes right across the globe, a string of festival headlining performances (including Glastonbury), and selling out arenas tour after the tour (including their biggest numbers to date in the US in the conclusion of the Delta tour back in 2019). It could be suggested that a distinctively Mumford & Sons sound has since influenced and inspired many recent artists to find great success in their own right. “RUSHMERE” is available to preorder here 

Since the band’s last album release, they’ve explored solo works with Marcus Mumford releasing his well-received self-titled album in 2022, reconnected with friends and past collaborators, and had some well-documented and controversial personnel changes with Winston Marshall leaving the band in 2021. But this album has led them back to where it all started for them – a leafy suburb.

According to the band, Rushmere is the spot where it all began. It is, in fact, a pond, located on Wimbledon Common in south-west London, where Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, and Ted Dwane first hung out and imagined the initial idea of putting a band together.

The album was produced by six-time Grammy winner Dave Cobb (Jason Isbell etc.)  and recorded at RCA Studio A in Nashville, in Savannah, GA, and back in the UK at Marcus Mumford’s studio in Devon.
