Mumford & Sons have recorded brand new track 'Learn Me Right' for Pixar film 'Brave'.

Critically reviled, maybe, but right now Mumford & Sons are laughing all the way to the bank. Debut album 'Sigh No More' remains on the charts, continuing to win new fans with its sturdy folk derived songwriting.

Massive in the United States, Mumford & Sons will return to the UK this summer for the Gentlemen of the Road shows. The band could be set to unveil new material at the dates, if recent reports are anything to go by.

NME reports that Mumford & Sons have recorded a new track, which is set to appear on the upcoming Pixar film 'Brave'.

'Learn Me Right' is a previously unreleased song, with Marcus Mumford commenting: "It's quite fun doing a song for a movie rather than for an album. We liked the idea of having an orchestra in the background and having a girl like Birdy sing - it's been quite liberating."

Pixar's Katherine Safarian was seemingly keen to get the band on board. "'Learn Me Right' is an amazing song. I feel something every time I hear it. Mumford & Sons sketched out a piece that would do justice to the culminating moment of the movie, underscoring the emotion, heart and the lessons learned between mother and daughter. They really found that moment of truth in the story we were trying to tell and it takes the movie to a new level at the end."

'Brave' goes on general release from June 22nd. The accompanying soundtrack album drops on June 19th.

30 Cardiff St. David's Hall
31 Folkestone Leas Cliff Pavilion
