Grey's Anatomy Plays Mumford & Sons

Has anyone else noticed that Grey's Anatomy has used Mumford & Sons songs in the first two episode of their 2010 Fall Season?

I remember the first time I discovered the musical melodies of Mumfod & Sons earlier this year (blog entry). It is very exciting to me that they have squeezed their way into popular culture.

I hope this folk band will enjoy further success because of their newfound television exposure. I am crossing my fingers that they will make it to the US for a tour, or release a new album next year.

Mumford & Sons

My lovely roommate, Courtney, possesses an ear and fantastical knowledge for music, which she continued to strengthen in my mind by introducing me to the band Mumford & Sons. Marcus Mumford, Country Winston, Ben Lovett, and Ted Dwane complete this West London band developed in the winter of 2007. Mixing the musical qualities of country, bluegrass and folk, their strong rhythms pounded at my heart.

I listened to the title track from their debut album, “Sigh No More”, inspired by Shakespeare's language in Much Ado About Nothing: "Love it will not betray you, dismay or enslave you / It will set you free / Be more like the man you were made to be."

Much of the album seems conceptualized from several of Shakespeare's plays: "White Blank Page"-Othello, "I Gave You All"-King Lear, "Little Lion Man"-Coriolanus. I cannot wait to purchase the entire album and bathe in their acoustic melodies.
