Mumford & SonsDelta

The banjos recede and the atmosphere swells on this moodier, more electronic turn from the British folk-rock juggernaut. 'Guiding Light' still delivers the soaring, arms-wide chorus they're famous for, but tracks like 'Beloved' trade stomp for ambient texture and aching restraint. It's the sound of a band stretching past its barn-burning roots toward something darker and more spacious. A reflective, widescreen evolution.
