The new Mumford & Sons video for "Lover of the Light" was directed by and stars Idris Elba, who you might know from the BBC show Luther (it's amazing), HBO's The Wire, and these fantastic Tanqueray ads: 
He's so pretty.
Anyways, I read the best synopsis on Tumblr:
I’m not entirely sure what’s happening. There’s a little mythological deer chasing, then there’s a long segment where Idris is visibly alone but obviously being an excellent boyfriend to someone (us, the viewers, I assume), and what I hope is a James Bond audition video where Idris looks very sexy while running and dodging a speeding car. And of course it all takes place in an Anthropologie catalogue because it’s Mumford & Sons.
Enjoy!
