more new devendra

20Aug07

Today I had a tumor removed from my leg (sorry no pics, but it looked rad) so while I keep the leg elevated I’ve been catching up on some music I’ve been putting off listening to (see: Baby 81 by BMRC which is pretty much more of the same from them) along with catching up on some newly released tunes (see: Devendra Banhart here).

 

Well, Devendra’s been releasing quite a bit of his forthcoming release Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon recently and it’s all pretty amazing.  The track ‘Seahorse’ can be found for download at all the usual sources (Pitchfork, Gorilla vs Bear, Stereogum, I Guess I’m Floating, etc) and he’s currently streaming two new songs on his site.

 

From what we’ve all heard so far it seems Devendra has put together a fantastic album which is set to hit stores on Sept. 25th, which happens to be the same day he’ll be playing the Roxy in Boston!  So kids, go out early and get his new LP or go to the show and be surprised, but either way be there (or at the Okkervil River show at Middle East the same night – my money is going to Devendra this time).
