Hozier & Mumford's Rubber Band Man: A Folk Collision Heard Round the World
Hozier BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
It has been a landmark week for Hozier with a headline-grabbing development that is sure to resonate for years across the folk and pop landscape. Just as October winds down, Mumford and Sons released their eagerly awaited new single Rubber Band Man featuring Hozier in a first-ever studio collaboration between these two modern folk titans. The track, produced by Aaron Dessner of The National at Long Pond Studios in upstate New York, was unveiled after weeks of cryptic teases and back-and-forth between both acts on social media, igniting a surge of fan speculation and anticipation. Noise11 describes the collaboration as the collision of two compelling voices, with Mumford’s trio signature harmonies and Hozier’s soulful, baritone lyricism soaring in tandem. The single stands as a standalone release, not an outtake from the bands chart-topping Rushmere album, and is seen as a move that could open the door to further collaborations between Hozier and other top-tier folk acts in the coming year.
Music critics across the board are lauding Rubber Band Man for its emotional complexity and slow-burning intensity, with Spin calling it anthemic and Holler highlighting its visceral, yearning arrangement. The lyrics grapple with themes of emotional elasticity and self-doubt, painting vivid portraits of intimacy and impermanence. Mumford’s reflective lines are interwoven with Hozier’s poetic, sometimes haunting contributions, inviting listeners into an intimate sonic space that feels equally suited for radio and sold-out arenas.
Hozier’s participation is the product of a nearly decade-long friendship with Mumford and Sons, with previous joint performances including memorable festival sets at Austin City Limits and Dublin’s Longitude Festival. Just two weeks ago, Hozier also made headlines with a live rendition of Nina Cried Power alongside Mavis Staples at Austin City Limits—an appearance widely circulated on YouTube and praised for its powerful delivery.
On the business and touring front, Hozier’s collaboration coincides with Mumford and Sons’ ongoing world tour, which wraps up its North American leg this weekend and heads into a sold-out European run that will stretch through December. No new tour dates have been announced directly by Hozier himself, but the heightened profile from this collaboration may raise speculation about potential future joint tours or surprise guest appearances.
Social media has buzzed with excitement about the release since late September, with fans dissecting studio photos and performance footage on platforms like Instagram and X. There is no confirmed word yet about additional tracks recorded during these sessions, though several outlets note that the Long Pond Studio doors remain open for further musical alliances. For now, the critical and commercial momentum behind Rubber Band Man assures that Hozier’s artistic partnership with Mumford and Sons is both biographically significant and likely to resonate in the folk world for a long time.
