“Hopeless Wanderer,” a track from the band’s 2013 Grammy-Award Winning Album of the Year Babel (not ironically defined as a confusion of sounds and voices), has just gotten its music video release, and the internet has (predictably) responded in unified approval.

Mumford and his Sons might have just unintentionally ended the hoe-down. Through the guise and get-up of old-timey ramblers, Mr. But their latest move might have just undone the false facade that the Mumford gang had been so successfully operating under. Grammy Award-winning music group Mumford & Sons, having released only two proper full-length albums to date, have already cornered the pop-folk market on the backs of such foot-stomping hits as 2010’s “Little Lion Man,” and 2012’s “I Will Wait,” whose rollicking hootenanny spirits have infected the airwaves as well as paved the way for more folk-type outfits’ successes (warranted or not). How could they not? In an age whose generational youth can be broadly (or unfairly) understood by their misguided sense of identity through contradictions, by extension of the manipulative second life that digital communication allows, it should come as no surprise that the biggest band in 21st century American pop music is a folk quartet who play the banjo and still wear suspenders.

All dust-paved roads were leading to this.
