Biography

Edit

Singer-songwriter Devendra Banhart is often associated with the subgenres known as freak folk, psych folk or New Weird America. Essentially his music is gentle and twee and a little bit strange, with latest album Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon (2007) being especially experimental. He started a recording career in 2002 and first got noticed after second album Oh Me Oh My. Third full-length Rejoicing In The Hands (2004) was widely acclaimed and nominated by many publications as one of the best albums of the year. Niño Rojo (2004) and Cripple Crow (2005) further boosted his reputation.
