06/02/10: MUMFORD & SONS- The Cave

The crisp lyrics, the background sound of a banjo, the folklike sound and breathtaking vocals- yep, Mumford & Sons are here with a brand new song. Taken from their UK Top 10 Album 'Sigh No More' comes the release of 'The Cave', a brilliantly written song that leaves you in a trance.

The London band, who rose to fame in late 2007 alongside a hoard of other London folk artists, show that they are oh so clear with their sound in this track. The lyrics are daydreamy ('it's empty in the valley of your heart') and so clearly written that it's impossible to look past this track without feeling some form of love towards it. Because, essentially, that's exactly what 'The Cave' is- an incredibly likeable song. Lead singer Marcus has a perfectly natural voice, and it really shines through in this hum-along track.

The song, overall, won't be approved by everyone, but that is what makes Mumford & Sons who they are. Their authentic sound will only be to niche tastes, and 'The Cave' proves this. However, with this track being so perfectly crafted alongside some clever lyrics, you just cannot dismiss the folk band's efforts.
