Mumford & Sons Single Release: “Winter Winds”

Mumford and Sons release their new single, ‘Winter Winds’ through Gentlemen Of The Road / Island Records on the 7th December 2009. It is taken from the band’s critically acclaimed debut album, ‘Sigh No More’.


Mumford and Sons are one of the most significant success stories of 2009, with their debut album charting at number 11, and number 1 on iTunes. But like all great stories, we’re not even halfway through the first novel and the best is still to come.

Since Mumford and Sons released the first of their limited-edition vinyl EPs through Chess Club Records back in the summer of 2008, the road has become their rolling home. The gospel spread across the globe, and from one sold-out tour to the next.

The band’s recent single, ‘Little Lion Man’, was playlisted across national radio stations, picking up multiple ‘record of the week’ accolades at Radio 1, 6Music and XFM, and even charting ahead of its release. blogs. The band’s multiple SXSW performances back in March received rave reviews, with Under The Radar magazine declaring it the finest performance they’d witnessed throughout the conference. It’s the next step of their journey and one that stretches into Spring 2010, encompassing Holland, Germany, Australia and India.
