( Rolling Stone ) -- Mumford & Sons confirmed that their second album will released on September 24 in an interview conducted by 3FM backstage at the Pinkpop festival in the Netherlands yesterday . `` We finished the record this week , '' says multi-instrumentalist Ben Lovett . `` We hope to get it out in September . We just figured that out , September 24th . '' Lovett says that the band 's new album will not be tremendously different from their hit debut `` Sigh No More . '' `` There 's similarities , yeah , '' he says . `` Nothing 's really changed in our dynamic as a band . We write songs together and they 're very much based in our experiences . The instruments are pretty much the same , except for a few we 've picked up along the way . For the most part , it 's a progression . We do n't want to reinvent ourselves . '' The band have commitments to play several shows in the meantime , but according to Lovett , they will be focusing on material from `` Sigh No More '' in those gigs . `` Right now we 're in a period between the two records , but we 're very much focusing on moving forward . We 're going to play some of the songs from 'Sigh No More ' in the next few months and I guess every band has to go through it , but it 's new to us . '' Later that night , Mumford & Sons joined Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band for a joyful rendition of `` Hungry Heart . '' See the full story at RollingStone.com .
