Wirthensohn's award-winning documentary tells the story of his long-standing friend, the model/photographer Mark Reay. It follows the life of Reay who lives homeless, but also the relationship between New York and one of its residents.
Mumford & Sons' banjoist Winston Marshall explains his own relationship with the city and the song's involvement. "In the belly of Manhattan every type of everybody is living on top of each other, swarming in and out of each other's lives. Sometimes, a lot of the time, you're face-to-face with these people and moments later you wouldn't have noticed. Even living there, somehow you barely know the half of it, I didn't."
"Thomas Wirthensohn made a film we love, Homme Less. It follows a close neighbor of mine at the time, Mark, a neighbour I never met, but inevitably we'd have brushed shoulders several times. Mark is one of the many men that make New York what it is, and Thomas' film is a perfect portrait of the beast that the city is. He kindly used his footage and put it against our song 'Tompkins Square Park', also the neighbourhood in which Mark and I lived. Here it is�"
Meanwhile, Mumford and Sons will launch their tour stateside in March. See the dates here.

"Yeah, I got sucker-punched the other day," Stitches says in the video. "Ain't nobody hiding their face. And I got jumped by my own n--s yesterday." He also went on to threaten a retaliation. "I'm still standing. Come back and come back. Y'all n--s gonna die."
The initial fight, which was caught on camera, took place last Thursday (Dec. 3) when The Game was celebrating his birthday on South Beach. In that video, Stitches can be seen approaching the Game when another member of The Game's entourage punched him and knocked him to the ground.
Stitches explained that the violence didn't end with the punch from The Game's crew member. He said he was later jumped by his own friends, who, he alleges, were paid off by The Game.
"My face is fractured right now I can't see out one eye," he said. "That's all you could pay them n--s to do to me? Ha. This ain't nothing. You can shoot me next and I'll still laugh. At the end of the day everyone knows you were scared to walk up that day." "Show everyone you a Gangsta and let's step in the ring. A man to man fight," he said. "Even if you loose I'll give you the props for being a man. Let me know the city and time and I'll be out there'"
Since the initial knock-out, The Game and Stitches have been warring on social media. See some of the video here.
