Today in twee: Marcus Mumford handwrites solo album announcement
The suspenders-clad bard brought out his quill and ink to let you know Brandi Carlile, Phoebe Bridgers, and Clairo are all featured on his debut solo album

Fresh from the year 2014, Marcus Mumford shared a new, handwritten announcement on his Instagram detailing his debut solo album. Mumford brought out his best-rugged scrawl to inform fans he’s losing the “Sons” temporarily to release a solo album titled (self-titled). The all-lower-case style, the handwritten note, Mumford himself—twee is officially back, and anyone without a mustache tattoo on their index finger and semi-proficient banjo skills is officially behind the times.
The album, due out this fall, employs heavyweight folk artists from the past and present for guest spots. Mumford confirmed that Brandi Carlile, Phoebe Bridgers, Clairo, and Monica Martin are all featured on the new album. Veteran songwriter and session musician Blake Mills, who has worked with everyone from Fiona Apple to Bob Dylan, produced the album.
