Devendra Banhart
 

My favorite current singer songwriter. I can up something upon request.

Yes please.

Long-Haired Child is a pretty rad song, go check it out. I only have "Cripple Crow" but I really like it.

It's all I have too,

Thank you.

I am listening to "Cripple Crow" right now....

It is fantastic. His voice+Guitar+The Flute = Awesome.

Thank you, Swim.

I don't know if on his other albums if he goes into spanish a lot but I really like that he does it on Cripple Crow especially because I can understand most of it.

And for that, I hate you. :(

EDIT: Do you want more?

*double post*

If anyone is interested, I have some more.

Yes, please.

Devendra Banhart - Niño Rojo

Devendra Banhart - Oh Me Oh My... The Way the Day Goes by the Sun Is Setting Dogs Are Dreaming Lovesongs of the Christmas Spirit

Devendra Banhart - Rejoicing In The Hands

Devendar Banhart - The Black Babies

Enjoy :)

Thank you very much.

This is someone else who I keep getting told to listen to over & over again.

I feel a download frenzy coming on.

If I had to recommend two I'd say try Heard Somebody say and long-haired child, but tracks 3, 4, and 5 on that CD are amazing.

I thought "Lend Me Your Teeth" was fantastic.

I Feel Just Like A Child. <33

This stuff is absolutely amazing, I'm checking out his myspace and I think I'm falling in love with Korean Dogwood at the moment. His voice is so amazing soft and yet not lacking in power.

This is one of those artists who I simply do not get. Suppossedly he is doing something unique but whenever I hear him I can't not think of Marc Bolan back in the days when he sat crosslegged on the floor and sang bad hippie poetry over guitar and bongos.

haha his music is far more complex. This isn't just bad hippy music. He writes amazing lyrics and really good songs.

Cripple Crow album is definitely in now my second favorite folk album to Black Sheep Boy.

He's probably my favourite singer songwriter at the moment.

The fact that the guy is a total nutjob helps just makes him that more appealing.

I actually like the songs that are in Spanish more than the English ones.... and I can't remember a lick of Spanish :).

Does anyone have a possible leak of Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon, comes out September 25th.

It hasn't leaked yet, just did a quick search. I'll keep an eye out.

I love Devendra Banhart, I like his niño rojo cd best
my friend is going to his concert in chicago on september 18th

I like him.


favorite song

uhm.
chinese childeren.

I think.

It seems as if everyone is on the ban-wagon :rolleyes:

Rejoicing In the Hands is my favorite album. Poughkeepsie is an amazing song.

OHMYGOD yes!

Downloading it. Listened to a couple samples on Last.fm because he's Joanna Newsom's top similar artist on it.

EDIT: Eh, didn't like it that much, but I remembered thinking he was pretty interesting in the samples. Could anyone recommend an album I might like more?

^Cripple Crow, it's easily one of my favorite albums.

Haven't had enough time to listen to the new album fully, but so far it's really good, Bad Girl is a great song.

So I'm thinking that I like the new album more than Cripple Crow, speaking in terms of the whole album. Cripple Crow has most of my favorite songs of his, but you gotta admit that it kinda jumps all over the place. The new album however, follows a steady sound/feel and still has its gems. I'm actually really loving Saved, which as you might have guessed, is about being saved, but it's such an awesome song. He has the backing choir of female gospel singers mixed with his soulful-folky sound and it sounds great. So Long Old Bean is another good one, kinda fits Cripple Crow more.

But yeah, great album, get it now.

I still havn't listened to a Devendra Banhart album in its entirety.

Mmmm, you need to, start off with the new one and tell me what you think of it.

I find Devendra Banhart to be an ingenious musician and he's doing a great thing for folk music; definitely my personal favourite music of the last decade. The "Indie" category was the only place I thought Devendra's music would fit, since there's not exactly a folk section. But what do you think of Devendra Banhart and other previous or upcoming "neo-folk" or "naturalismo" musicians/bands (i.e. CocoRosie, Antony and the Johnsons, Noah Georgeson, Vetiver, The Espers).

But yes, he is amazing.

I've only heard what is on his Myspace.
Not much to go off...
It sounds quite good though.
I don't think I could ever love him.
=]

me either, and I've had it for a long while now :/.

I've gotta say, I LOVE the Black Babies EP.
