{"product_id":"mumford-sons-wilder-mind-1","title":"Mumford \u0026 Sons - Wilder Mind","description":"\u003cp\u003eMumford \u0026amp; Sons put the banjos away for Wilder Mind, a 2015 album that traded stomping folk for widescreen electric guitars and a full drum kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter Sigh No More and the Grammy-winning Babel made them festival headliners, the London band faced a choice between repeating the formula or tearing it up. They chose the latter, working with producer James Ford, known for his work with Arctic Monkeys, and drawing on time spent writing in New York. The city even shows up in the song titles, a nod to the Brooklyn and Manhattan streets that shaped the writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Believe\" became the lead single and the clearest statement of intent, building from a hushed, atmospheric opening into a soaring, full-band swell. \"The Wolf\" charges ahead on a driving riff, while opener \"Tompkins Square Park\" sets a moody, nocturnal tone and \"Ditmas\" swaps the old acoustic gallop for a rush of electric energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarcus Mumford's voice remains the anchor, as raw and pleading as ever, even when the arrangements shift dramatically around him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDivisive at the time, the record has aged into a confident, well-crafted rock album. It captures a band brave enough to risk its signature sound, and for fans who followed them into that bigger, louder world, it still delivers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57165864993073,"sku":"810599020712","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Mumford_Sons-Wilder_Mind_911c02fc-7c23-4d56-9307-c9608c5661c5.jpg?v=1793187695","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/mumford-sons-wilder-mind-1","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
