Rushmere (album)
2025 studio album by Mumford & Sons
Rushmere is the fifth studio album by British folk rock band Mumford & Sons. It was released on 28 March 2025 through Island Records and Glassnote Records. Their first album in nearly seven years, it marks the longest gap between studio albums for the band. It is also their first studio recording following the departure of guitarist and banjoist Winston Marshall in 2021.
Background and recording
Rushmere sees the band performing as a trio, following the departure of Winston Marshall in 2021. The following three years included the release of a solo self-titled album by member Marcus Mumford (2022) and a collaboration with Pharrell Williams titled "Good People" (2024).
The album is named after the pond located on Wimbledon Common in London where Marcus Mumford, Ted Dwane, and Ben Lovett first got to know each other as friends and eventual creative collaborators. According to a press release, the intent was to take listeners back to where "it all" began while the trio itself felt "restless to get going, relieved and excited" to share new music. Recorded between 2022 and 2024 at RCA Studio A in Nashville, Savannah (Georgia) and at their own studio in Devon with producer Dave Cobb, the trio described working on new music as "the most prolific two years" they had ever experienced.
Promotion and singles
The album was announced on 15 January 2025 through an Instagram post shared by the band.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Rushmere (album)” as 2025 studio album by Mumford & Sons. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as 2025 studio album by Mumford & Sons. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q131985922. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2025, 2021, 2022 and 2024.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
