Birds sometimes dance

Mumford & Sons is a quartet from london playing their own blend of gospel, bluegrass, british folk music and the modern folk rock. It’s anthemic, with a lot of sound, filled with big drums, acoustic guitar and dramatic volume changes. It often goes from complete silence to an explosion of sound, with banjo, brass, drums and vocal harmonies almost big as a choir. Marcus Mumford’s singing is both warm, calm, soaring and screaming.

Casa Murilo is a pretty fresh band fronted by Englishmen Chris Winfield and Dan Hesketh. They play extremely catchy indie rock and sing about things they experienced and people they met when the two lived in Brazil. Of some reason they went to Norway to form a band. Should we wonder why such talented people ended up in Norway of all places or just embrace the fact that they’re here?

Windmill is the moniker of British Matthew Thomas Dillon. Following the success of Puddle City Racing Lights from 2007, he’s now released the new album Epcot Starfields, capturing his sense of impending doom threatening humanity captured through the portrait of a childhood visit to the Disney theme park, Epcot Center.
