It's just over a year since Mumford and Sons blew Marlay Park away with their performance and surprise collaboration with Hozier at Longitude:

Well now Marcus Mumford and his 'Sons' Ben, Ted and Winston are back with a brand new track, upcoming album and tour details, and we're in love with it all.
Here's the song:
Chatting on Today FM's Dermot and Dave, founding band member Winston Marshall revealed the news of their new album Delta and told us that they'd be coming back to Ireland "very soon".
Winston says their new record is "4 years of work" and is "almost like everything we've done in a melting pot".
The lads got a bit of a mixed response from the guitarist when they asked him how he feels now that it's complete, "there's a huge relief and at the same time there's now a gaping hole in our lives".
We imagine that void will soon be filled when the album is released on November 16th and the touring kicks off shortly after.
Irishness was also a topic of discussion as Winston laughed saying, "everyone thinks we're Irish in America". Well they do have that 'Paddy' touch about them, and Americans love us, so they don't make them any the wiser.
With their unmistakable sound and the hint of an electro vibe to 'Guiding Light', we cannot wait to rock out to them in a nearby stadium soon.
Delta tour dates will be announced on Oct 4th. For EU, AU & NZ dates, pre-order the album for ticket pre-sale access now on our website https://t.co/MIx2jhOwfb . For the US & CAN, stay tuned for updates. And for everybody else around the world, we'll see you soon! pic.twitter.com/QorYO3Qowh
