So first up, in this list of albums that are awesome (in no particular order) we have Babel by Mumford & Sons:
Released September 21st 2012, Babel is Mumford & Son's second studio album after their 2011 release called Sigh No More. The tracklist on the deluxe version includes 15 songs, alsoe featuring a stunning cover of Simon& Garfunkel's The Boxer, which I've also mentioned in this post before.
When I look at my iPod's Top 25 songs, there's 6 songs from this album in the top 10. I guess that statistic alone tells us something about how much I adore this album and how often I have listened to it since its release ...
I fell in love with this album a few months before it was released when I was at a Mumford& Sons gig in July 2011 where they played some new material. I especially remember hearing Lover's Eyes and being absolutely fascinated by the lyrics of that particular song. So when it was released and I heard the rest of it, I was very pleased, because there were many more gems on it than the song I just mentioned. If I had to pick a season to fit the atmosphere Babel, it would be autumn. The lyrics are introspective, a little melancholic and thoughtful at the same time- the whole record feels very harmonious to me.
Top 5 Favourite Tracks:
Lover of the Light, Lover's Eyes, Reminder, The Boxer, Where Are You Now
How about you? Do you know the record? Do you like it as well?
