Here’s another insightful review of Mumford’s Triple Trinities, this time from Dave Murphy over at Des Moines Is Not Boring, who says the album “…tells an overarching story about a person’s struggle to know exactly what is, or isn’t, out there. It uses cynicism, logic, sarcasm, faith and hope to get you to think about the topic at hand and allow you to form your own opinion. Not once judging and always making you think.”
Couldn’t have said it better, Dave. Yet another reason to get your hands on this record!

Hi, friends! Hope y’all are feeling good today.
Anyway, if you want to know what you should think about Mumford’s rather complicated new album, Triple Trinities, read this review by Max Johnson of KRUI radio, who claims that Mumford’s has “paid homage to creators everywhere – human, supernatural, and everything in between.” We agree with him. Thanks & love to the Iowa City folk who’ve been showing mad support for Mumford’s!
