Mumford & Sons have returned with a new single called "Blind Leading the Blind."
The song marks the band's first new release since last year's Delta and was actually started around the time the songs on that album came together.
"'Blind Leading The Blind' has been a song we've had up our sleeves for some time, which ended up being a catalytic song for much of our work on Delta, its themes and feelings, but that we never got round to finishing in time to put it on the original release," frontman Marcus Mumford said in a statement.
"We're proud that we've finally finished it, as it feels like one of the most challenging songs, thematically, that we've put out there, both for ourselves and our audience," he added. "It feels it's becoming harder and harder to coerce yourself into a listening, present and unafraid disposition, but that's the gauntlet we're throwing down for ourselves."
