Folk pop is either entering another renaissance or entering it's first now that Mumford & Sons are one of the best selling bands of the past five years. Whereas years ago, the idea of making millions with simplistic arrangements, string instruments aplenty and timeless themes were so far removed from the clean-cut, electronic heavy and hyper-sexualised cartoon exploits of early 21st century popstars; Mumford & Sons simplistic take on one of music's older genres was a much needed antithesis.
Unfortunately; Mumford & Sons are one of the most criminally overrated acts of recent memory and like all somewhat undeserving bands; there's always more that should receive the critical and public adulation.
