Devendra Banhart, that one dude, has finished his sixth full-length release. Recorded in a house in Bolinas, CA, the album features Banhart alongside Noah Georgeson (guitar, vocals), Luckey Remington (bass, vocals), and Rodrigo Amarante (guitar, vocals) — all of them weighing in on the song arrangements. The album is currently untitled, which is why I've decided to call it Wake Up, Friend: I'm ...

First Ms. Newsom debuted a ton of new material out of the blue at a live show and now Mr. Banhart has done the same. Via Jp's Blog, a couple videos surfaced last week of a show Devendra played prior to his Coachella set. He decided this was a...

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 Go...

MOGstars: 9 out of 10Forged 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 voca...

In the past few years, Devendra Banhart seems to have become the indie world's pet hippy, a benign prankster who radiates love for music, spiders, humanity, his beard, and the vast array of fine artists he has nurtured, played with and championed over the past five years. I can't think of many other musicians in that time who have informed my taste so much, whose proselytizing have turned me on...

So basically I'm going through another musical/internet dry spell again. I haven't wanted to get on the internet, talk to anyone on the internet, find any new music, or really listen to anything except my Billie Holiday records from time to time. So I'm feeling very tired and stressed out about it. And exams are coming up and I'm kind of freaking out on the inside because of the Calculus Exam t...

Apparently from what I've been hearing Devendra Banhart is not making music anymore? I genuinely hope that this is not true and hope that someone passing by can tell me that I am wrong about this. The world would be missing out on a powerful and brilliant musical force if the man stopped making music. The instruments and words are always beautiful and I am in love with Devendra's voice. Please ...

Wow! What a way to kick off a Tuesday! Maharishi-tastic Banhart with his A-list squeeze Natalie Portman acting out some made up Hindu prophecy in art direction that screams your nearest Taj Mahal Indian restaurant calander art. (Mmm...Chicken Tikka Saag). You know what's coming next? A Banhart-produced Portman album of Warren Zevon covers. (I kid.)Devendra Banhart, "Carmensita" off Smokey Roll...
