Pitchfork Praises Ma As A Return To Form From Devendra Banhart

In its review of Devendra Banhart‘s new Ma LP, Pitchfork observes that “Banhart steps fully into these songs with a vitality that recalls his beginnings. The songs are arranged and rendered with nuance by a veteran band, as comfortable with synthesizer squall as they are saxophone fantasies. Puckish and tender, Banhart seems again delighted to be here, too.” The review compares the new record with some of Banhart’s other recent LPs, writing that Ma is a rejuvenative release that fulfills some of the artist’s earlier promise. The album is “his most cohesive album in more than a decade,” says Pitchfork, and the full review is here.
