Mumford & Sons (With Birdy) Release New Song From 'Brave' Soundtrack

I hardly need to tell you to go see the latest Pixar offering, Brave, opening up tomorrow. I know I'm looking forward to it. Partly because, hey, it's fucking Pixar. They sort of know how to make movies and pretty damn good ones at that. These guys single handily plotted most of my childhood. As for the other part, I'm actually curios to see how Pixar handles having a strong female lead charter as the center of the story. Female character aren't unheard of in Pixar films but this will be a first for them to have one as the lead. Heck, the fact that it's noticeable is proof enough that it's a first for a lot of movies. But if anyone can get it right it's Pixar. It's just easier to pretend Cars 2 never happened.


 But hey! I'm rambling about a movie! This is the Nirvana Of Sound after all. In music news, Munford &Sons have finally released that song they were working on since May for the movie called "Learn Me Right". Written, arranged, and performed by Mumford & Sons, with UK singer Birdy on the vocals, the song will be featured in the movie and on the soundtrack. And honestly, it's actually pretty amazing. I've underestimated Mumford & Sons methinks. I had long since written them off as a niche' band that was only popular in America thanks to our countries' rich fascination with British accents, regardless of musical quality.

Which is the only possible explanation for the success of these guys.

 But this offering shows the boys might have some more depth then I initially gave them credit for. And with the revel that their sophomore album is going to be, "Black Sabbath meets Nick Drake doom folk", I can only say I'm looking forward to it. Check out the song from Brave, bellow.
