- THEY LOOK LIKE THE COUSIN/BROTHER/GRANDFATHER (ALL THE SAME IN THE SOUTH) OF MILEY CYRUSWinter Winds comes to you from Mumford & Sons' debut album Sigh No More and follows the successful single (especially in Belgium apparently) Little Lion Man.
Mumford et al have made another good stab at bringing folk to the people but with fewer swears and bit less fun than Little Lion Man. This track does however, have more depth of sound and emotion; it's lyrically more interesting. An especially striking image being 'The flesh that lived and loved will be eaten by plague '.
The slow pondering pace has a tender wintery feel as you'd expect but builds to a strong climax with an almost military beat to it. If you want another Little Lion Man then maybe it's not for you but this is a grower.
Overall, a compelling song and all the mainstream airplay Mumford & Sons are getting, can only be a good thing for intelligently crafted music.
