Our Take
Our Take
Devendra Banhart’s latest offering, Vast Ovoid, is a whimsical journey through a kaleidoscope of sounds and emotions. With his signature blend of folk, psych-rock, and world music influences, Banhart creates a sonic landscape that is as eclectic as it is captivating.
From the dreamy opening track "Ovoid Wastelands" to the infectious groove of "Crystal Caverns", Banhart demonstrates his ability to seamlessly blend genres and create music that is both fresh and familiar. His unique vocal stylings, reminiscent of a cross between Bob Dylan and a woodland faerie, add an ethereal quality to each track.
One standout moment on the album is "Moonlit Lullabies", a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases Banhart’s songwriting prowess. The delicate instrumentation and heartfelt lyrics combine to create a truly enchanting listening experience.
Throughout Vast Ovoid, Banhart wears his influences on his sleeve, drawing inspiration from artists as diverse as Nick Drake, Os Mutantes, and Captain Beefheart. Yet, despite these nods to the past, Banhart manages to create a sound that is distinctly his own.
In conclusion, Vast Ovoid is a testament to Banhart’s talent and creativity as a musician. With its lush arrangements, poignant lyrics, and otherworldly vocals, this album is a must-listen for fans of experimental folk music. Banhart continues to push boundaries and defy expectations, solidifying his status as one of the most innovative and exciting artists in the industry today.
