  • Junk Mail: Mumford & Sons 'Wilder Mind' Album Review

    On its own merits, Wilder Mind is a very commendable The National record. I think some people may complain about the relationship-heavy lyrics, but I'm personally always down for a breakup album.

Billboard notes that the number of dates, 16, is rather sparse considering how huge the band got following its winning of the Album of The Year Grammy during 2013 for Babel. They suggest that the absence of locales such as Los Angeles on the schedule suggests that the band will add more dates as the tour approaches. There's also a noticeable gap between the June 20 performance in Iowa and the August 7 show in San Francisco to fill.
