3/27/11 If You Like, Then You'd Like: Mumford & Sons and Admiral Fallow

To the horror of music purists everywhere—hipsters, pull that houndstooth scarf up over your eyes, or something—I’m about to provide the first if you like x, then you’d like y METROPOLIS sound recommendation.  Yes, I’m going to make a demeaning simplification, reducing your complex taste and a band’s complex work to a two-clause byline, and yes, I can’t guarantee that I’ll always speak the truth, but go on and give me the benefit of the doubt.  If you’re the kind of music fan I am, even when you’re burned out on an album, you still want more: kindly accept my silver platter. 

All that said (and I won’t say it next time): If you like Mumford and Sons, then you’d like Admiral Fallow.
