Mumford & Sons Attack Jay-Z's Tidal, Drop New Video

First ditching the banjos and now throwing shade on Jay-Z, Kanye West and other big-time, multi-millionaire musicians? Mumford & Sons are feeling the winds of change.

In an interview with The Daily Beast, the Grammy-award winning folk-rock lads have expressed their, well, distaste, with the machinations of the music industry as they sum up their sentiments about new streaming service Tidal with one short sentence: “To Mumford & Sons, the very mention of Tidal is greeted by a series of loud fart sounds.”

While farting in the general direction of Tidal and its $20-a-month, high-fidelity, exclusive-access, artist-owned offering, lead singer Marcus Mumford says, “We wouldn’t have joined it anyway, even if they had asked. We don’t want to be tribal … and when they say it’s artist-owned, it’s owned by those rich, wealthy artists.”

And pointing out how over-the-top Tidal’s launch ceremony was, featuring the likes of Beyonce, Rihanna, deadmau5, Madonna and Nicki Minaj, guitarist Winston Marshall says they’re all “new school fucking plutocrats.”

But remember, Mumford & Sons have made enemies before.

We’re not sure if Mumford & Sons are feeling a little bitter sans banjo, but at least they’re keeping busy in the lead-up to their new album post-hiatus, Wilder Mind, releasing a live music video for their single, The Wolf.
