Sigh No More is the breakout 2010 debut album from indie rock quartet Mumford And Sons formed from the same West London scene that has given rise to the likes of Laura Marling, Jay Jay Pistolet and Noah and The Whale, yet with a much broader and wider spread appeal. Mumford & Sons created a gutsy, old-time sound here that married the magic of Crosby, Stills & Nash with the might of Kings of Leon and the harmonies of Fleet Foxes. Sigh No More was recorded at East coast Studios and produced by Markus Dravs who has worked with such superstar acts as Arcade Fire, Bjork and Peter Gabriel. Peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 on its way to 4x platinum certification, the universally acclaimed Sigh No More won Album of the Year at the Brit Awards and was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize.
