Description: 'Sigh No More' is the debut record from London based outfit Mumford & Sons. Bonding over a love of folk, country and bluegrass the four piece became part of the London folk scene that kicked started the careers of Laura Marling and Noah And The Whale. Produced by Markus Drays (Maccabees,Arcade Fire) the record sees the group's twee sounding folk fleshed out, giving 'Sigh No More' a sound which is similar in tone to that of Drays' previous clients.
