INSIDE MUMFORD & SONS: BABEL

Mumford & Sons will release their second album, Babel, through Glassnote Records on September 25. The follow-up to 2009's Grammy-nominated Sigh No More features twelve new songs from the British rockers. Produced by Markus Dravs, who was at the helm for the multi-platinum debut Sigh No More, the album started to take shape after the foursome reluctantly took time off from touring.

"We are more than excited to release Babel into the world," says the band. "We had started writing new songs well before we got into the studio to record. At first, we peeled ourselves off the road quite reluctantly. We love playing live, obviously, but it had also become an important part of our creative process, we had been writing and rehearsing in soundchecks, and sort of 'road-testing' new songs on our very gracious audiences. But then we fell in love with recording again. As a band, we've never been closer or more collaborative, all working to our strengths. And so we feel that this record is a natural progression that we're proud of, and we cannot wait to take it out on the road."
