Mumford & Sons - Awake My Soul

Mumford&Sons have been on my constant playlist for almost 2 years by now. Their folk-rocky sound, interesting instrument combinations and deep lyrics cannot be heard too many times. In addition to that, I can for sure say that these guys are amazing live performers. I had the pleasure of seeing them take the main stage at last year's Rock Werchter festival in Belgium and to say they blew me away would be to put it mildly. They seriously gave their all on the stage and it didn't take much effort to get the crowd cheering and dancing along. For the whole show.
In terms of their records. Latest one called 'Babel' sounds more refined and although every song separately is a piece of wonderful music, all together they form a masterpiece. This does not mean that I would appreciate their 'first-born' Sigh No More any less. What I'm trying to say is that you can see clear development in their music, but still they haven't lost their original sound that I fell in love with.
