Contents

After working with Markus Dravs for their first two albums, the band decided to hire producer James Ford and The National's Aaron Dessner. The album marks a departure from the group's folk rock sound, as they abandoned their signature acoustic instruments (such as banjo and upright bass) for electric ones and added a session drummer to fill out their rhythm section.

Background and recording

In September 2013, following the end of the world tour in support of their second album Babel, Mumford & Sons began what they thought would be a lengthy break, but found themselves back at work only five months later. [1] After a couple of days in London at Dwane's studio, the band headed back to Brooklyn to write and demo tracks at the garage studio owned by The National’s Aaron Dessner, where the band had spent time recording demos in the months leading up to the end of the Babel tour. [2]

Lovett and Marshall were living in New York, with Mumford & Dwane still based in England, so for the next eight months, the band split their writing sessions between Dessner's New York garage and London's Eastcote Studios, where their debut album, Sigh No More had been recorded. The band then recorded Wilder Mind at AIR Studios in London with producer James Ford, who also traded off drumming duties with Mumford. [3]

Composition

Larry Fitzmaurice of Pitchfork described Wilder Mind as "clean, streamlined, and positively Coldplay-esque rock music". [4] Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone dubbed the album "an indie-rock-steeped affair". [5] Jordan Bassett of NME described the album as "electric guitar-led arena rock". [6]

Promotion

On 27 February 2015, the band released a short video teasing new live material, promising a further announcement on 2 March 2015. [7] It was revealed on 2 March 2015 that the third studio album from the band will be entitled Wilder Mind and will be released on 4 May 2015, with the first single "Believe" being released to radio stations on 9 March and available to download straight after. [8] [9]

Mumford & Sons made their live return at the 375 capacity Oslo, Hackney on 8 March 2015 with an intimate show for family and friends. The band played again to fans on the following two nights, debuting songs from Wilder Mind. [10] [11] This was followed by shows at small venues in Berlin, Los Angeles, Toronto and New York, [12] with the band playing two nights in each city. The second single from Wilder Mind, "The Wolf" premiered on BBC Radio 1 on 9 April 2015, [13] and was made available to download straight after, with the official audio being uploaded to the band's YouTube channel. The official video, a live video of the band performing the song, was uploaded to YouTube on 13 April 2015. [14]

[17] On the extended version, the band also premiered "Snake Eyes" for the first time on television. [18] A snippet of the studio version of the song had already been heard on the 12 April 2015 edition of Sky Sports Super Sunday, and a live video released to YouTube on 20 April 2015. [19]

On 30 April 2015 the band announced an intimate show at Brighton Corn Exchange exclusively to members of their mailing list. The gig took place on 1 May 2015, with the band playing songs from all three albums. [20] On 27 April 2015, the band were invited to perform a Live Lounge special for BBC Radio 1 at Maida Vale Studios. [21] As well as "The Cave" and a cover of Shura's "2Shy", four songs from Wilder Mind were performed, including a premiere of "Hot Gates", which became available to download straight after. Two days later on 29 April 2015, the band performed "The Wolf" on The Graham Norton Show . [22]

On May 5 May 2015, the band recorded "Believe" for the Late Show with David Letterman before performing a full set of songs for live-streamed webcast Legends of Letterman.

Wilder Mind was released to a mixed critical reception. At review aggregator Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional critics, the album received an average score of 54 based on 29 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews". [34]

In a five-star review, Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph hailed the album as a "triumph" and wrote that Marcus Mumford "has never sounded better than on this overwhelmingly tense and bittersweet album". [45] Andy Gill of The Independent felt that the band's musical transition towards more guitar-oriented instrumentation had been successful, singling out the album's "surging electric guitar riffs with synth and organ textures" for praise. [39]

Leonie Cooper of NME was also positive, noting Aaron Dessner's large influence on the album's production and concluding: "Still missing the banjos? Didn’t think so". [40] Garrett Kamps of Billboard stated that "not only does Wilder Mind reintroduce the band members as rock gods worthy of the title, it does so without changing what fans cherished most about them in the first place: their songwriting, their sentiment, their gusto." [46] For Rolling Stone , Jon Dolan wrote that "the sentiment is Springsteen, the guitars are straight-up Strokes, and even if it's not going to work out for the relationship in this song, the music itself bristles with self-assurance." [43]

In a mixed assessment, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic felt that in their attempt to break away from their vintage folk leanings, the band now "seems interchangeable with any number of blandly attractive AAA rockers" and wrote that "the odd thing about Wilder Mind is now that everybody else sounds like Mumford & Sons, Mumford & Sons decide to sound like everybody else." [35] While noting that "brief flashes of newfound power and sophistication hint at a potentially fruitful plugged-in future for Mumford & Sons", James Rainis of Slant Magazine felt that the album as a whole was unremarkable, criticising its "compositional predictability" and "tired lyrical sentiments". [47]

Pitchfork 's Maud Deitch called Wilder Mind "a 'rock' record in the least interesting sense of that word—a pastiche of the genre's most common elements, from big percussion, electric guitars, and warm synths, to poignant but ultimately surface-level lyrics". [41] PopMatters 's Brice Ezell commented on how the band had "stripped away the artifice from their ostensible Americana aesthetic to reveal the boilerplate alt-rock that forms its core circuitry". [48]

Commercial performance

Wilder Mind debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, marking the band's second number one album in the United Kingdom. It sold 81,300 copies in its first week of release to become the second fastest-selling album of 2015. [49] The following week saw the album spend a second consecutive week at number one in the UK, becoming the first album to do so in 2015. [50]

In the United States, the album became the band's second number one on the Billboard 200, debuting at number one with sales of 231,000 copies, or 249,000 units including tracks sales and streams. [51] Furthermore, the band marked the largest debut for a rock album in 2015 and the third-biggest opening overall of the year. The album has sold 568,000 copies in the US as of May 2016. [52]
