Devendra Banhart by Dana Trippe
The new Devendra Banhart LP was produced by Cate Le Bon.
Devendra Banhart has announced the release of his eleventh studio album Flying Wig on September 22nd.
It’s the follow-up 2019’s Ma and is being previewed today with Twin. “This entire record was inspired by Kobayashi Issa’s poem: ‘This dewdrop world, Is a dewdrop world, And yet, And yet…’,” Banhart said.
I’ve never read a more concise and clear illustration of hope… it just sweeps me away by the breadth of its scope…. as lonely as we might feel at our saddest, angriest, most desperate, most frustrated, most hopeless, most heartbroken moments, we have all felt that, everyone on earth, our ancestors before us, and those that will come after, have or will feel that.
“The ‘and yet, and yet’ is our ability to face despair with hope, to keep on failing and loving.”
