Comparison to Mumford & Sons

             A band that is similar to Mumford & Sons is Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros. They’re both bands that are in the same genre of indie, folk, and blue grass. I picked my favorite song by Edward Sharpe, “Home.” This song has been watched by seventeen million people and liked by over one hundred and twenty two thousand people. Edward Sharpe has so many great songs; the vibe that you get from listening to each one is so positive and happy. The video is set to look like a home video, and they’re very personable in each scene.
                I love the fact that it’s a personable video that they’re interacting with each other as if the cameras weren't there. I can’t get enough of this song and the group; their music is so addicting and also upbeat.

                
            There isn't really any comparison in the videos. Edward Sharpe’s video is a more intra-personal and interpersonal video but the Mumford & Sons is a comedic music video. Mumford’s is more on how they portray themselves. The interpersonal and intra-personal part of Edward’s video tells the story about how he falls with his fellow band member and now wife; the best part of the video is when he tells her for the first time and her reaction.  The only part that is similar is their styles of music; they’re both in the same genre. But as far as music videos and the production and lighting behind them both are their styles of music, there obviously isn't similarity in their styles of ‘music videos.’
