Music Review: Mumford & Sons Finds a New Folk Rhythm on the Collaborative 'Prizefighter'
Prizefighter features 14 tracks coproduced by Aaron Dessner with guest artists contributing to Mumford & Sons' folk-rock sound inspired by their collaborative U.S. tour.
- Mumford & Sons released Prizefighter, their sixth studio album less than a year after Rushmere, delivering an introspective yet upbeat return to their stomp-clap form.
- Inspired by last year's cross-country train run, the band's summer train tour from Louisiana to Vermont with dozens of musicians and crew seeded the album's collaborations.
- On specific tracks, guest vocals and arrangements appear, with Gigi Perez's rich vocals on Icarus and Stapleton opening with a country-tinged ballad, while album climax instrumentation features shakers, maracas, and synth bass.
- Critics noted the album's feature tracks as tentpoles and awarded three and a half stars; Begin Again, Stay, and Clover add worthy, varied moments with live-set potential.
- Aaron Dessner, of The National, coproduced all 14 tracks, with songwriting credits including Brandi Carlile, Finneas, Kevin Garrett, Jon Bellion, and Justin Vernon .
