Mumford & Sons Almost Finished With Second Album

Mumford & Sons have revealed that they have almost completed work on their second album.

Whilst there is no complete tracklisting or release date set, the band have said that they’re drawing to the final stages of preparation for the follow-up to 2009’s ‘Sigh No More’.

Mumford & Sons frontman Ben Lovett spoke to MTV News about their sophomore effort’s current state, saying: ‘We are in the final stages, we’re not finished, we don’t quite know the exact tracklisting.

‘We have kind of road-tested some songs, and we have picked up some new songs and dropped some ones that people might have thought we were going to be putting on the record. We just want to make a record that’s cohesive and one that we feel represents us best right now.’

However, he was insistent that the band have not yet chosen when to release the new record: ‘There just isn’t (a release date yet). We can’t even say that any particular song is definitely on the record, because we just don’t know. But we’re being urgent with it, we’re trying very hard.’

‘Sigh No More’ was released in October 2009 and has since gone 4 x Platinum in the UK.
