Listening to the new Devendra Banhart album made me immediately want to text all my friends from high school, to ask if anyone still listens to the ol’ psychedelic folk artist. His 10th and most recent album, Ma, is fucking pleasant as hell. Made after Banhart realized he might not ever reproduce, the record is meant to impart lessons on the child he may never get around to having. He’s trying to make sense of everything he’s learned in life, I suppose, singing in English, Japanese, Spanish, and Portuguese. It’s really Banhart at his best, loungey and weird. Reflective, too. Unmissable cuts: “Taking a Page,” “Love Song,” and “Carolina.” by Jas Keimig
