New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, Marcus Mumford shares his new single, "Better Off High" - a sprawling, euphoric track that explores the complexities of self-medicating. The song is from (self-titled), which will be released 16th
September by Island Records. Mumford wrote and recorded "Better Off High" with
Blake Mills (Alabama Shakes, Jim James), who produced the album.
While (self-titled) is Mumford's first solo album, it's still a deeply collaborative work that finds him working with vocalists and/or co-writers such as Brandi Carlile, Phoebe Bridgers, Clairo,
Monica Martin and Julia Michaels. Fans who pre-order the digital edition of (self-titled) will instantly receive "Better Off High" plus the first single, "
Grace" and album opener "Cannibal."
Marcus is a founding member of Mumford & Sons, who have topped the Billboard 200 with three of their four studio albums and sold 3.7 Million albums in the UK. The band has won numerous awards, including two BRITs, an Ivor Novello award and two GRAMMY's including Album of the Year.
