Mumford & Sons took a brief hiatus after the frontman Marcus Mumford decided to focus on his solo music, but it seems they’re finally plotting a comeback. In a recent interview, Mumford said he’s ready to “get in the room with the boys” and start working on some new music.

Mumford & Sons haven’t released a new album since Delta in 2018, but Marcus Mumford has been pretty busy in the meantime. He recorded a theme song for the hit Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso and dropped his first solo album Self-Titled, which featured collaborations with Brandi Carlile, Phoebe Bridgers, Clairo, and Monica Martin.

Some thought Mumford’s decision to turn to solo music also means the hiatus for Mumford & Sons, but he dismissed those rumors on several occasions and recently revealed they’ll soon reunite to work on some new music.

“The next thing really is to get in the room with the boys in the band and start playing each other the songs we’ve written. I’ve got a bunch that are kind of ready to go. And then we’ll make a record, and tour it, and get to do what we love,” said Mumford in an interview on Sunday TODAY with Willie Geist.
