Mumford & Sons continue to receive widespread praise for their sold-out live performances; the Albany Times Union declares, "Mumford & Sons has developed into an arena-rock juggernaut," while The Washington Post proclaims, "The U.K. quartet thrilled a packed Capital One Arena crowd ... undeniably wondrous arena rock anthems." According to Billboard, "It's exactly the kind of tour that will solidify their spot in the pantheon of arena-friendly bands."

The acclaimed band performed "Slip Away" last week on "The Late Late Show with James Corden." The performance was filmed at Central Hall Westminster as part of the show's four-episode special broadcasting from London.

The song comes from Mumford & Sons' new album, "Delta," which debuted last fall at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, Americana/Folk Albums, Alternative Rock Albums and Rock Albums charts with 230,000 equivalent album units earned (stream/purchase here). It marked the band's third consecutive No. 1 debut, the largest sales week for an alternative rock album in 2018 and the sixth largest debut among all titles last year (Gentlemen of the Road/Glassnote Records).

Produced by Paul Epworth, "Delta" was written collectively by the band and recorded at London'sThe Church Studios and continues to receive widespread critical acclaim.

Marking 10 years since Mumford & Sons made their meteoric debut, the new music follows 2015's "Wilder Mind," which debuted at No. 1 in the U.S., U.K., Australia Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands and Norway and, most recently, 2016's collaborative Johannesburg mini album.

Previous LPs include 2012's "Babel," which was awarded the 2013 Grammy for Album of the Year, and their 2009 debut, "Sigh No More."

Mumford & Sons are Ben Lovett, Marcus Mumford, Ted Dwane and Winston Marshall.
