Karl Puschmann: Should I Marry A Murderer? and Celebrity Treasure Island

A staple of the folk-rock genre, few people wouldn’t recognise the name or work of Mumford & Sons. 

Following only a year after the release of their fifth studio album, Rushmere, was their sixth album Prizefighter, released in February this year.  

The album was recorded in ten days at producer Aaron Dessner’s studio in New York, and now they’re taking it around the world – bringing it to New Zealand’s shores as well. 

They’re performing tonight at Auckland’s Spark Arena, and compared to the more intimate, slightly introspective shows the band has done in the past, this one is set to be a bit more exciting. 

“This is the beginning of a major bout of like, quite a few months of touring for us with a whole new production, a new album, and we’re quite ambitious for the whole thing,” Keyboardist and vocalist Ben Lovett told Jack Tame. 

“It’s our 6th album, so we’re quite like, in a spirit of let’s like, leave it all on the floor, let’s bring all the new songs out, let’s give it a whole new visual aesthetic.” 

“It’s quite exciting really.” 

Despite only being a year apart in release dates, Rushmere and Prizefighter are quite different records – Rushmere being more introspective and internal, while Prizefighter is more expansive, featuring collaborations with artists like Chris Stapleton and Hozier. 

“When we talked about getting back together, I think our desire was to make a record that felt like you were kind of pulling the curtain back and just hearing a band in a room together,” Ted Dwane, who does vocals, bass, and guitar for the band, told Tame.  

“So with Dave Cobb we made Rushmere, and kind of, I think, kind of completed that thought.” 

And it was Rushmere’s release that threw the band’s creative doors wide open, answering any questions about where the band was at musically and whether the audience would be along for the ride. 

“And I think just internally between us, it was an incredibly freeing feeling, y’know, just the feeling of making Prizefighter,” Dawson said. 

“It felt like the backlog was cleared and we were flowing again.”

"Tucked beneath the rugged Crown Range and richly wreathed in the charm of its gold-rush legacy, my abiding love-affair with Arrowtown is fully renewed with every visit. Long famed for its ravishing fall foliage, autumn’s full flush is still on radiant display. The annual Arrowtown Autumn Festival celebrated its 40th anniversary a fortnight ago – no mean feat when so many events and cherished festivals around the country have struggled to continue. I happened to be in town for the tail end of the festivities.

"This year’s cooler temps have been a boon for leaf-peepers, because the cooler, crisp nights help trees retain their colourful leaves longer, while also producing even more vibrant hues. So even though it’s now May, you can still feast on the flamboyantly coloured foliage if you hot foot it to Arrowtown in the next few weeks. The flaming colour palette moves like morning mist through the trees in the Arrow Valley: from mossy green and petal rose, to flaming copper and soft honey gold, all part of the unfolding medley."
