Mumford and Sons play their brand new single at the premier of a film – Music News

The British folk rock band, Mumford and Sons, sang a brand new track this past Saturday when the band was invited to the premiere of a new film called
Big Easy Express at the annual film festival SXSW.

The movie Big Easy Express is directed by Emmett Malloy and it has been recently screened at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas. In addition to Mumford and Sons, the movie features other acts such as Old Crow Medicine show, Magnetic Zeros, and
Edward Sharpe. On the day of premier, Mumford and Sons played the acoustic version of their new song “Where Are You Now”, while members of the other acts also joined them.

The band also performed ‘Roll Away Your Stone’ with the members of the other acts in the movie. Taking full advantage of the opportunity, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros also played their new singles

Mumford and Sons have not disclosed yet, whether ‘Where Are You Now’ will be featured on their forthcoming second album. Mumford and Sons released their first album ‘Sigh No More’ in 2009, which touched the heights of fame and multimillion copies of the
album were sold out throughout the world.

Following the screening of the film, the director expressed his views about the movie. He stated, "I like it when films in general are about a journey." He added that the filming experience was so great because "when you’re rolling through the country and
you lift your shades and you see a beautiful sunset, you’re like, I don’t even have to get out of bed to shoot this shot."

Meanwhile, the frontman of Mumford and Sons Marcu Mumford also had his say. He said, "I think it was the best thing we’ve ever done. Watching it feels like going back in time."
