Juhu! MUMFORD & SONS werden Ihr zweites Album am 21. September 2012 über Gentlemen of the Road/Cooperative Music veröffentlichen und erneut wurde dafür Markus Dravs als Produzent engagiert. Zum Entstehungsprozess sagen Mumford & Sons selbst: “We are more than excited to release Babel into the world. We had started writing new songs well before we got into the studio to record. At first, we peeled ourselves off the road quite reluctantly.”

“We love playing live, obviously, but it had also become an important part of our creative process, we had been writing and rehearsing in soundchecks, and sort of ‘road-testing’ new songs on our very gracious audiences. But then we fell in love with recording again. The album started to come together, and with the help of Markus Dravs once more (and engineer Robin Baynton), we started to relish the challenge of making this album. As a band, we’ve never been closer or more collaborative, all working to our strengths. And so we feel that this record is a natural progression that we’re proud of, and we cannot wait to take it out on the road.”

Das Tracklisting liest sich wie folgt:

01. Babel
02. Whispers In The Dark
03. I Will Wait
04. Holland Road
05. Ghosts That We Knew
06. Lover Of The Light
