Mumford & Sons handed their new single ‘I Will Wait‘ its world premiere last night on UK radio. The track is currently streaming on YouTube and can be heard below.
The single is the first official taster of Mumford & Sons’ forthcoming ‘Babel‘ record, and will be released on the same day as its parent album, September 24th.
“We are more than excited to release ‘Babel’ into the world,” Mumford & Sons said when confirming their album’s details earlier this summer.
“We had started writing new songs well before we got into the studio to record. At first, we peeled ourselves off the road quite reluctantly. We love playing live, obviously, but it had also become an important part of our creative process, we had been writing and rehearsing in soundchecks, and sort of ‘roadtesting’ new songs on our very gracious audiences.”
“But then we fell in love with recording again. The album started to come together, and with the help of Markus Dravs once more (and engineer Robin Baynton), we started to relish the challenge of making this album.”
