Banhart, Devendra / Rejoicing In The Hands / Nino Rojo

Young God

This double LP contains the entire Nino Rojo and Rejoicing in the Hands CDs, and features unique artwork (for inner gatefold). Contains two vinyl-only spoken-word bonus tracks by M. Gira   Banhart assembles his delicate and whimsical folk songs with the naivety of a three-year-old at play. And so while his songs are as earnest as soil, they're also as beautiful and joyous as spring in full bloom...Banhart makes music that could charm the birds from the trees such is the uncomplicated beauty of his songs. Devendra Banhart is a fucking genius. Honest. --NME  Banhart gives himself so wholly and so without artifice or posture, that even the most jaded of listeners can't help but be awed. --Kevin Jagernauth, Popmatters.com  Majestic. --Othermusic.com/MK  I'm not alone in thinking there's something about Banhart's muse that defies words and logic, something to these songs that hints at a deeper connection to the cosmos than most of us share. Jeff Buckley might have had that gift; John Lennon and Van Morrison certainly did. Add to that list Devendra Banhart, an astonishing talent whose future work promises to bring us to exciting new places. --Harp Magazine  Devendra pleads to be put in the subject's suitcase, so he'll never be apart from his companion...After yet another brilliant release from Devendra Banhart, we share his sentiment, hoping the talented singer-songwriter continues to take us along on his journey as one of the more memorable musicians of our time. --Stylus Mag  It's not often that two of the best albums in a given year are by the same artist. Does anyone need more evidence that Devendra is this generation's greatest singersongwriter? --Other Music
