REVIEW: '(Self-Titled),' the solo debut by Mumford & Sons leader marcusmumford, is deeply influenced by his struggle confronting childhood trauma.
debut opens in a place of anger: “I can still taste you, and I hate it,” the
leader seethes over gently strummed guitars, a whisper of feedback serving as a signal of his bubbling rage. “Cannibal,” the first track on , was written by Mumford during the pandemic’s lockdowns, when isolation was forcing him to grapple with his inner life; as he revealed in an August interview, he was also dealing with the idea of telling others about abuse he endured as a six-year-old.
As the song shows, he was also processing the idea of confronting himself with this information: “Help me know how to begin,” he pleads — and then the music swells and swallows his voice, its chaos and clamor providing release and solace for his rush of feelings. It’s an intense beginning for an album that
journeys from white-hot anger to uneasy forgiveness over its 10 songs. That trip isn’t an easy one; amid the lurching drums and choppy guitars of “Grace,” he wails, “There will come a time/When it won’t feel just like living it over and over/With the weight of the shadow on your shoulder/And I hear there’s healing just around this corner.
