Mumford & Sons' new album, 'RUSHMERE,' has officially landed and we're celebrating with a special Audacy Check In with the band in the Audacy Sound Space in the Hard Rock Hotel New York.

Marcus Mumford, Ted Dwane, and Ben Lovett sat with Audacy's Brad Steiner to unpack their first new offering in 7 years, and talk about the making of 'RUSHMERE,' an album they say would only be created for the right reasons.

"We had this moment in Los Angeles, in January '23, where we said, 'let's meet up and let's put instruments in our hands together in a room with no one else around for the first time in quite a while, and if the songs come easy, then let's do this.' And if they don't we'll maybe keep trying and but there's no like, let's not do this because we have to do it because we're in a big band and people know our name and just show up to work and kind of go through the motions. Let's only do this if it feels like something we can be passionate about because we only really are very good when we really believe in the music we're putting out," shares Marcus. "We wrote five songs in a week."
