Delta by Mumford & Sons
Delta is an album by Mumford & Sons, released in 2018. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 22 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Guiding Light”, on 15 lists with a best position of #11.
Delta, the fourth studio album from Mumford & Sons, arrived on 16 November 2018 through Gentlemen of the Road, Island and Glassnote, and it's the sound of a London folk-rock band reaching well past the folk. They cut it at The Church Studios in London with Paul Epworth producing, and coming after Wilder Mind it leans hard toward pop: Ben Lovett's keyboards and synths spread out wide, Ted Dwane's bass swells underneath, and Marcus Mumford sings like a man lighting candles in a big, empty room.
"Guiding Light", "Beloved" and "Woman" were the singles, and the album went to number one on the Billboard 200 in the US and number two back home in the UK. It also turned out to be a farewell of sorts: it was the last record with Winston Marshall on banjo and guitar before he left the band in 2021.
