Mumford & Sons are pleased to share a brand new single, Rubber Band Man (With Hozier) is streaming now.
Arriving just seven months after debuting their fifth album RUSHMERE at number 1 in the UK, Rubber Band Man was recorded at Long Pond Studios in upstate New York alongside producer Aaron Dessner. Dessner has previously worked with the band on their third album Wilder Mind that debuted at 1 on both sides of the Atlantic.
Hozier’s involvement stems from a friendship with the band that stretches back to 2017 when he joined Mumford & Sons on stage to cover The Beatles’ A Little Help From My Friends when the British band headlined the Longitude Festival in 2017. He also guested with them at the Austin City Limits Festival in Texas in 2023.
Rubber Band Man is a confident next step for Mumford & Sons who have been busy on and off the road over the past twelve months, with RUSHMERE merely the starting point. With more songs than they’ve known quite what to do with, the band left the studio door open at Long Pond. Hozier here makes the first meaningful connection of many studio
collaborations, and his distinguishable, rich baritone compliments Marcus’ vocal beautifully.
Since RUSHMERE’s release, Mumford & Sons have largely been out on the road across the US, interspersing a string of sold-out arena dates with a return to a tour they initially started over a decade ago out on the US railroad, joined this time by the likes of Maggie Rogers and Noah Kahan. The band follow this new single’s release by returning to the UK and Europe for a 22-date run that concludes with two hometown shows at London’s O2 Arena.
