Claude says:Marcus Mumford's English folk rock outfit dropped this sixth album right at the start of 2026, a year after Rushmere, with guests like Gracie Abrams, Chris Stapleton, and Gigi Perez woven through tracks that split the difference between their banjo-driven early days and the more electric turns they've taken since. You picked it up immediately in February, a month after release, and worked through nearly the whole tracklist — "Begin Again" and "Badlands" especially, but also "Clover," "Conversation With My Son," and the closing trio with Stapleton and Perez. It burned bright for two months and then faded, the way some records do when they meet a moment but don't outlast it.
