The Fader Walks Through The Cosmos With Devendra Banhart

Larry Fitzmaurice writes in The Fader that “Devendra Banhart’s tenth album in nearly 20 years, Ma, is small and gorgeous — an understated and folk-leaning meditation on parenthood, loss, and family that recalls Songs of Love and Hate-era Leonard Cohen as much as it does his early classic records like 2004’s double-stunner Rejoicing in the Hands and Nino Rojo. Play it in quiet enough of an environment, and it feels like his guitar is whispering in your ear, as he switches between English and Spanish in his instantly recognizable soft singing voice.” The author has an in-depth interview with Banhart, who discusses “9/11, pain, Buddhism, and everything in between.” Enjoy the whole thing here.
