Five years (five years!) on from the release of Sigh No More it’s become all-too-easy to switch off at the first listen to any of the myriad of bands who have followed aping the Mumford & Sons sound. There’s certainly no shortage of them. But every now and then you find something still worth listening to. Annabelle’s Curse, a five-piece from the Virginia side of the stateline that splits Bristol in two, are one such band. Regret, VA is taken from their sophomore LP Hollow Creatures, which has drawn comparisons to the Decemberists alongside the more obvious Mumford links. You can listen to whole thing here.
