==Background==
In late 2010, Mumford & Sons had already begun road-testing new material that they had been working on. Most of these songs, including "Broken Crown" and "Below My Feet", had already been played live on numerous occasions before the album's release. Mumford & Sons decided not to change their sound on ''Babel'', which is the follow-up to 2009's highly successful ''Sigh No More'', which elevated them to international fame. They did, however, admit that they purposely took their time in order to perfect the sound that they had already developed.
After a year of speculation, it was finally announced via their official website on Monday, 16 July 2012 that their new album ''Babel'' would be released in the UK on 24 September, and the following day in the US. A final track list and album art were also revealed, as well as a 30-second promo. ''Babel'' was made available for preorder on the band's official website on Monday, 23 July, when it was announced that the album would also be released as a vinyl LP and a deluxe edition with additional tracks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://mumfordandsonsblog.tumblr.com/post/27835486455 )〕
