Mumford & Sons are no strangers to taking the piss out of themselves — mainly because if they don’t, someone else probably will. Thus explaineth their brand new clip for ‘Hopeless Wanderer’, the latest single off 2012’s Babel.
It starts off normal enough for Mumford: a dusty old piano being played in the middle of a field, as sun-drenched bandmembers in waistcoats and suspenders pick up their banjo, acoustic and double bass, and drag the instruments into an old hay-filled barn. Folk music! Yeah!
But just wait…
Jason Sudeikis stars as Marcus Mumford, with his SNL castmate Will Forte as Ted Dwane, Arrested Development‘s Jason Bateman growing a beard as Winston Marshall, and The Office‘s Ed Helms being ridiculous as Ben Lovett. It is perfect.
And that classic Mumford climax at 3:39? That is what should happen in every film clip, always.
