Devendra Banhart - Heard Somebody Say Single Review

Devendra Banhart

Heard Somebody Say

Single Review

This piece of retro side picking from one of the most exciting singersongwrtiters in ages is simply lennontastic. It has all the hall marks of a great single, here's the tick list: singing, song writing, retroesque, melancholy, sing-along, a bit mad, image, cult status, reminiscent, DIY, great production, acoustic, quirke, and there is also a song called Chicken. This is like buying/discovering an EP which you later find out is the only copy in the world. Great stuff, worth the buy, even for the B-sides. 8.5/10
