Mumford & Sons - 'Hopeless Wanderer' Video
British banjo-folk pastiche-kings Mumford & Sons are more famous than a motherfucker, so they don’t have to care whether you like them or not. (I do like them, though.) And yet, they’ve pulled at least a couple of moves that seem directed toward making you, Stereogum reader, like them at least a little bit, including the repeated casting of people you already like in their music videos. First, there was Idris Elba in “Lover Of The Light.” And now comes the “Hopeless Wanderer” video, which features an all-star cast of famous comedy bros — Jason Sudeikis, Jason Bateman, Will Forte, noted bluegrass aficionado Ed Helms — all doing their best Mumford impressions and making what might be the most Mumford video of all-time. The video stays pretty straight-faced most of the way, which only serves to further skewer the band’s deathlessly sincere old-timey pose. And honestly, isn’t it a little bit brave for a band to hire famous people to make their whole thing look stupid in their own music video? I think it is. Either way, whether you enjoy liking or detesting this band, it’s a fun video. Forte’s fake scraggle-beard is obviously amazing, but don’t sleep on Sudeikis’s fake earrings. Sam Jones directs; watch it below.
Mumford’s new album Babel is out now on Island/Glassnote.

The brand new music video for Mumford & Sons “Hopeless Wanderer” has been released…. and let’s just say that’s it’s a little different to what you would expect from these banjo playing Brits.
I love the fact that the video proves that these guys know how to take the piss, and even though they are probably some of the most famous mother fuckers in the music industry right now, they also have a lot of haters… and well, i think this video shows that they don’t really care either.
The group hands over the music video to Jason Sudeikis, Jason Bateman, Ed Helms and Will Forte. These comedians do a brilliant job of acting like a very exaggerated version of Mumford & Sons. LOVE IT!
