Mumford & Sons // The Temper Trap

Enter to win the brand new albums from Mumford & Sons and The Temper Trap!

Mumford & Sons

On their debut, Mumford & Sons have created a gutsy, banjo-driven, old-time sound that marries the magic of Crosby, Stills & Nash with the might of Kings of Leon and the harmonies of Fleet Foxes. Recorded with producer Markus Dravs (Arcade Fire, Bjork) at Eastcote Studios, where Arctic Monkeys, Brian Eno, Tindersticks and Laura Marling have honed their sound, Sigh No More was recently released in the UK to much critical acclaim. The album debuted in the UK iTunes Top 10 recently and is being lauded by tastemaker publications such as NME ("A band who know they're onto something not just good, but spectacular") and Q Magazine ("A record that swings from arresting fragility to hearty dynamics"), to name a few. The first single, "Little Lion Man," is already being boasted as "The Hottest Record In The World" by Radio 1's Zane Lowe and was named "Best Track of 2009" by Australia's biggest radio station, Triple J, plus the band has been long-listed for the BBC Sounds Of 2009 Poll, which features the most promising new music talent.

"A band who know they're onto something not just good, but spectacular" – NME

"Soulful and searing folk pop from these brilliant hillbillies" – Time Out
