Marcus Mumford has announced his debut solo album.
The 35-year-old singer – who is best known as the frontman of folk rock band Mumford and Sons – will release the LP, named ‘(Self-Titled)’, in September 2022 and he unveiled lead single ‘Cannibal’, which was inspired by “facing demons” in lockdown, on Thursday (14.07.22).
In a handwritten statement provided by Island Records, he said: “In January 2021, facing demons I danced with for a long time in isolation, I wrote a song called ‘Cannibal’.
“I took it to my friend Blake Mills, and we began the process of making this album, dear to my heart, called ‘(Self-Titled)’.
“It comes out September 16th 2022, produced by Blake Mills, and featuring Brandi Carlile, Phoebe Bridgers, Clairo and Monica Martin.”
The ‘I Will Wait’ hitmaker – who has won numerous awards, including two BRITs, an Ivor Novello, and two Grammys, including Album of the Year as part of Mumford and Sons – is also set to embark on a UK tour in November 2021, which will begin at The Leadmill in Sheffield and finishes up at the Olympia in Dublin, with further details to be announced.
