Mumford & Sons have unveiled the official video for their second LP’s title-track, after the record returned to the top of the UK Album Chart this week.
‘Babel‘s promo features the band performing in an abandoned music hall, and is the fourth track to be lifted from its parent album.
Despite Mumford & Sons’ recent Glastonbury spot helping to elevate ‘Babel’ back to the top of the charts in Britain, frontman Marcus Mumford has confirmed to BBC Newsbeat they wouldn’t have fulfilled their headline duties at Worthy Farm had bass player Ted Dwane‘s sudden illness prevented him from performing with the rest of the group.
“We play, the four of us, or we don’t play,” he said. “The experience kind of galvanized that opinion for us. I think it was especially worrying for him and his girlfriend and his family. It was stressful but the doctors were amazing and the whole thing went as smoothly as it could have when that kind of thing happens. Thank God he’s fine.”
