devendra banhart
// “music that interprets so many styles that it belongs in a universe of its own.” New Yorker Devendra Banhart appears at TOM as part of his spring tour. Mala, Banhart’s eighth studio album, was recorded in his then-home in Los Angeles. (He now resides in New York City.) He and Georgeson played most of the instruments themselves, using borrowed equipment and a vintage Tascam recorder they’d found in a pawn shop.
