This MMR was picked by Orlando. The second CD in the deluxe CD/DVD version of the album 'Sigh No More'. Michael and Orlando's favorite album of 2009. A really great live band who I've had the privilege of mixing live at The Red House Pizzeria in 2009. Here they are in full splendor with a hometown crowd singing along. The band can't stop touring it seems, as they are still in high demand, especially after their appearance on the Grammys. I don't care how big they get, and I don't care how much backlash they have received since getting popular. Marcus Mumford and team are still a class act, a damn fine band, and a damn fine bunch of lads. "It's empty in the valley of your heart."
