The release marks the first time the two ‌acts​ have officially recorded together, building on a history of shared performances.

This collaboration arrives as Mumford & Sons navigate a busy touring schedule,and hints at a potential ⁤wealth⁢ of unreleased ⁣material recorded with producer Aaron dessner of The⁤ National. The‍ band’s willingness to experiment and invite other artists into their creative process underscores their continued evolution ⁢and commitment⁤ to‌ delivering fresh music ⁢to their fanbase.

According to a statement, the band recorded a critically ‍important amount ⁣of material during these sessions, leaving “the studio door open at Long ⁢Pond” for future collaborations. Hozier’s contribution is described as “the first meaningful connection⁢ of many studio collaborations.”
