listen, walk around, watch | Mumford and Sons

March 12th, 2010 1 Comment »

A good friend recently shared Mumford and Sons with me. I hesitated a little at first, but once I listened some more, I wasn’t able to stop. With heart felt melodies and transparent lyrics, these guys are worth checking out at least once.

Awake My Soul :
How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes
I struggle to find any truth in your lies
And now my heart stumbles on things I don’t know
This weakness I feel I must finally show

Lend me your hand and we’ll conquer them all
But lend me your heart and I’ll just let you fall
Lend me your eyes I can change what you see
But your soul you must keep, totally free
Har har, har har, har har, har har

In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love, you invest your life
In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love, you invest your life

Awake my soul, awake my soul
Awake my soul
You were made to meet your maker
Awake my soul, awake my soul
Awake my soul
You were made to meet your maker
You were made to meet your maker

You can check out their tracks on Myspace or Last.FM

I just found out about this band literally a day too late. Warpaint just played in Eugene last night. They have a rad psychedelic vibe to their songs. Hope you like them.

listen, walk around | Under Byen

“Welcome to the best band in Denmark, probably the best band in the world.”

David Fricke’s comment drew international attention spreading the interest in the band to countries outside of Denmark.

In January 2003, UNDER BYEN represented Denmark at the big music festival Eurosonic, in Groningen, Netherlands. The show was attended by the European music press as well as people from the international music business. Under Byen’s concert was by many considered the best show among the 120 bands performing. Furthermore, the entire concert was broadcasted live on BBC, by the legendary John Peel. The following months the album DET ER MIG DER HOLDER TRÆERNE SAMMEN was released in France, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Norway , Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden and Japan.
