golden boy Frank Ocean's masterful Channel
Orange for "Album of the Year" at the 2013
Grammy Awards the English folk band wants to
follow up 2012′s megahit Babel with different
genre influences.
"We really want to rap," lead vocalist Marcus
Mumford tells Rolling Stone in a recent interview
"We've just got so much to say – saying it through
a melody doesn't really work for me." The West
London collective are working on their third album
and wants to "do something that's a cousin" to
the indie folk/bluegrass sound that populated
their first two LPs according to Mumford.
The band have been taking this idea more
seriously than a simple pet project with the band
admitting to rapping during practice sessions and
even consulting a Hip Hop demigod for guidance.
"We've been talking with Jay-Z about it, you know.
It's gonna be a fresh experience for our band,"
Mumford said.
Babel was recorded in a little over a year and the
band expects a longer process for the new album.
"It might take a few more years than it took to
make Babel."It might take a few more years than
it took to make Babel," says band
member Winston Marshall.
