Devendra Banhart returns with White Buffalo Deer Woman Appears

Two years ago an obscure young songwriter named Devendra Banhart sat on the floor of the WNYC studio and sang his unusual songs on Spinning On Air. Since then, after two new albums, performances around the world, and rave reviews, Devendra has become a rising superstar. Critics grope with such terms as "neo-hippie" and "psych-folk" to describe his style, and the New York Times described him this way: "...with his twitchy, laserlike energy, Mr. Banhart, 23, seems like a brilliant young hobo who needs to connect. His songs are weird, animist dreams of nature and love, over intricate guitar fingerpicking." This week Devendra once again joins host David Garland and brings along his brand new band, White Buffalo Deer Woman Appears, to play new and old songs, and talk about the changes in his life and art. The second hour of the show will feature some of Devendra's current favorite recordings.
