Mumford And Sons: Azealia Banks Is Mind-Blowing

Mumford and Sons' Ben Lovett has praised Azelia Banks' single '212.

The keyboardist, who is the co-founder of the Communion record label, called the rapper's single 'mind-blowing'.

Lovett told MTV News: I just heard an incredible song by Azealia Banks called '212'… [It's] mind-blowing.

Azelia Banks joined the likes of Frank Ocean and Dry The River on the BBC's Ones To Watch In 2012.

 Meanwhile, Marcus Mumford spoke about LA band the Dawes: "Dawes are a really important band for us," he said before joking: "You would say 'Dawes' because you can differentiate between 'Dawes' and 'Doors' - more like 'Pawn' and 'Porn' - where we can't, it's just 'Porn' and 'Porn' to us, so you never know which one we're talking about."

Mumford and Sons have revealed that their new album sounds like 'Black Sabbath meets Nick Drake.

The band are currently working on the follow-up to 2009's 'Sigh No More', which is said to be more 'mature' than their debut.
