Marcus Mumford frames the Aaron Dessner–produced project as the peak of a prolific, newly collaborative stretch.

  • A 14-song tracklist names collaborations with Chris Stapleton (Here), Gracie Abrams (Badlands) and Gigi Perez (Icarus), alongside Hozier.
  • Sessions took place at Long Pond Studios in New York with Dessner producing, a process the band says accelerated their songwriting.
  • Band members describe increased openness to outside collaborators, with Mumford calling Prizefighter his favorite record they have made.
