Mumford & Sons - Little Lion Man

What do you think of this song? The more I listen to it, the more I like it.

I was introduced to their album this morning, on a friend's recommendation. He digs this song. Their vibe is possibly a bit too country-esque for me, but the song is already growing on me and I'm only on my 2nd listen!

Yeah, I was also recently pointed to them by a friend and like what I heard. Little Lion Man is especially catchy...

Meh! Sounds to me like one of those periodic attempts to present a pop song in folk clothing and claim that it's rootsy and authentic. See The Proclaimers, Dexy's Midnight Runners (circa "Too-ry-ay"), The Pogues...

If you want something with roots in English folk, well played, bought up to date etc then you'll do much better with Megson.

I'd heard great things about Mumford and songs, but this sounds rather too calculated for my liking. Like somebody tried a recipe that goes "1 part Hothouse Flowers, 1 part Pogues, slow it down a bit, dust with studio sheen to taste."

This particular track is definitely the radio friendly one. There's some really good, less obvious unit shifters on the album.
