Debut solo album drops this fall
Marcus Mumford has released “Grace,” the first single from his debut solo album, (self-titled). Vocalist Danielle Ponder, who will be supporting Mumford on tour this fall, and bassist Pino Paladino are among the musicians joining Mumford on the track, which he wrote with the album’s producer, Blake Mills (Alabama Shakes, Jim James).
(self-titled) will be released on CD and 180-gram LP on September 16th by Capitol Records. Amazon will have an exclusive limited edition autographed deluxe CD that contains two bonus tracks, “Better Off High (on my phone),” and “Grace (on my phone).” All digital album pre-orders instantly receive “Grace” and “Cannibal.”
The official video for “Grace,” which was directed by Diane Martel, touches on the cathartic theme of the album.
Tickets go on sale today (Fri, July 29th) at 10 am local time for Mumford’s North American headline tour. The run will kick off on September 19th at Boulder’s Fox Theatre and include shows at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium and the Beacon Theatre in New York City. Ponder will support from September 19th through October 14th and The A’s will open from October 17th through November 10th, except October 30th.
Mumford is a founding member of Mumford & Sons, which has topped the Billboard 200 with three of its four studio albums. The band has won numerous awards, including GRAMMYs for Album of the Year and Best Long Form Music Video, two BRITs and an Ivor Novello award.
