      Was like finding out Santa isn’t real.

      Like you knew Mumford and Sons were British but dressing up not to disappoint you until you were old enough to know by which someone in school had already ruined it or you’d found the presents Mudford and sons had hidden in their bedroom for Christmas day?

        I mean I always knew they weren’t actually from the American countryside and it was just a costume. I always knew it was, but I did have the illusion ruined by someone else in school tho

              No it doesn’t:

              “Born on the Bayou”, “Cotton fields”, “Green River”, etc. All those songs cosplaying as southerners for what???

              They sound great but why the fuck would you pretend to be from 2000 km away

                  Nah, I mean it was shocking for me cuz 1) I thought southern accent was foggerty accent, 2) isn’t it weird that a folk/rock band would play SO many songs from so far away? Like, if California was still redneck country in that time, why don’t sing about California?
