“Rubber Band Man” by Mumford & Sons featuring Hozier

"Rubber Band Man" puts Hozier next to Marcus Mumford on lead vocals, and it's one of the four singles from Prizefighter, the sixth Mumford & Sons album, released on Island and the band's own Gentlemen of the Road label in February 2026. Brandi Carlile shares the writing credit with Mumford, Ben Lovett, Ted Dwane and Aaron Dessner, and Dessner, producing alongside the band, is all over it: banjo, acoustic guitar, piano, synths, even the drums.

The whole record was made in ten days at Dessner's studio in New York, and the credits read like a room full of people grabbing whatever was nearest. Dwane's double bass thumps underneath, Rob Moose brings violin and viola, James McAlister piles on tambourine, maracas and synth bass, and Serban Ghenea's mix keeps the stomp bright without sanding it smooth.
