I'm sure most of you have heard the rumors about Devendra and Natalie. I hate gossip, I just think it's funny that our beloved folk singer is in the tabloids.

Haven't listened to Devendra Banhart (one of my all time favorite musicians) all that much lately. That's a crying shame considering his music consistently blows me away. I'm halfway through Rejoicing in the Hands, and I really should never have put this album down.
If you enjoy authentic, emotional music, pick any of his albums up. They're all equally amazing.
All I need now is a gram, a light, and some beautiful spring weather. A season of crappy New Jersey wi... MORE

As an avid Devendra Banhart fan, I can't help but want to post one of my favorite pieces by the singer/ songwriter.
I'd like to assume that everyone knows who Devendra Banhart is but in case you don't, allow me to fill you in on the musical mania you've missed.
Devendra Banhart was born 1981 and was mostly raised in Venezuela, hence the Spanish undertones. His music can be considered indie folk, naturalismo, or even new weird America meaning basically that he can't... MORE

Hey look, I interviewed Devendra Banhart again. The piece runs in PopMatters today:
C'mon Over and Let's Make a Record: An Interview with Devendra Banhart
[2 October 2007]
How the pied piper of psych folk and his ever growing band of followers holed up in a Topanga Canyon house, broke out a boxload of exotic instruments and kicked out the jams of Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon.
If you ever get invited to Devendra Banhart’s house, wherever it is at the moment, you s... MORE

Just a quick note, because I am in a hurry this morning, but I had to get this out. I picked up Devendra Banhart's new one this week, and it hit me like a brick wall. This album is magic and love and fire and all that cliche garbage that dreams are made of.
The standout piece (off the top), at least for me, is "Sea Horse." After my first run through the album I went back to this one on repeat for an hour or so loving it more each time !!
You need to check this one o... MORE

I reviewed Devendra's latest album Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon last week for Dusted -- and also did an interview with him (which isn't finished yet and won't run for a while). Here's a bit from the review:
Over the last few years, Devendra Banhart has evolved from a fragile outsider artist, recording on other people's answering machines (Oh Me Oh My), to a favored protégé of Swans/Young God's Michael Gira (Rejoicing in the Hands, Nino Roja), to the acknowledged center o... MORE

MOGstars: 9 out of 10
Forged in Topanga Canyon, one time playground of all of hippie-folk royalty, Devendra Banhart’s latest offering sees him lose some of his more extreme idiosyncrasies and mix a more accessible sound with retrospective overtones that hark back to Stills, Mitchell and Young.
Opening track _Cristobal_ glides past with gravely vocals and gentle guitar plucks with the Spanish vocals carrying only a hint of the crazies, while the Hawaiian infused _So ... MORE
