Comment:

To give you an idea of the staggering growth in Devendra Banhart's career, it took him only five years to segue from a lo-fi protégé position alongside former Swans frontman Michael Gira to having the same manager as Joni Mitchell and Neil Young. An otherworldly image — one so genuine it made him a reluctant godfather of the emerging "New Weird America" scene — certainly helped make this happen, but there's much more to Banhart than a Christ-like beard and clothes only Jim Morrison could pull off. Scan the man's catalog and you'll hear the ever-evolving voice of a true visionary, someone who can pull off protest songs ("Cripple Crow," "Heard Somebody Say") in one breath and free-associative poetry in the next ("Little Yellow Spider," "Long Haired Child," and, well, bits of just about everything he's ever written).
