Following Winston Marshall's departure in 2021, Mumford & Sons has returned to a trio format for their fifth album, 'Rushmere'. The album showcases a back-to-basics folk sound, moving away from the experimental style of their previous release, 'Delta’. The overall mood is largely self-pitying, which contrasts unfavorably with their earlier, more vibrant work such as 'Babel'. While some songs echo their earlier energizing style, much of the album leans towards dullness. Notably, the band's previous toff image has been dropped, marking a small shift in their presentation.
In the wake of Winston Marshall's exit, Mumford & Sons revert to a trio, releasing 'Rushmere' with a distinct back-to-basics folk sound but lacking innovation.
The mood of 'Rushmere' is predominantly self-pitying and self-justifying, providing a dreary listening experience compared to the band's previous uptempo works.
