We're pumped to discover one of our favorite Venezuelian singer/songwriters (and occasional weirdo)
Devendra Banhart has released new info about his forthcoming next record (and major label debut),
What Will Be. We're expecting good things, including, hopefully, more videos like
this one.
Returning with Banhart is the recording crew from
Rolls Down Thunder Canyon;
Noah Georgeson (producer of Banhart's last two albums) on guitar and backing vocals,
Greg Rogove (
Priestbird) on drums and backing vocals;
Luckey Remington (
The Pleased) on bass and vocals and
Rodrigo Amarante (
Los Hermanos,
Little Joy) on guitar and backing vocals. The album was recorded somewhere in Northern California, and produced by Banhart and
Paul Butler, a member of
Band Of Bees. We're hoping the new record takes the familiar combination of players to new heights. We're told there will be a masterful amount of stylistic variety... sounds wordy! Stay tuned for more info.-
