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!
