Freak-folk’s not dead, and neither is Devendra Banhart. Though he’s been laying low for the last couple of years, he never really left. Nonetheless, a lot has changed since the last time we really heard from Banhart: he’s just released a new record, Mala, on Nonesuch, and more noticeably, he’s traded his trademark tresses for a (slightly) more conventional cut.

Currently touring behind Mala, he’ll be at the Regency on the 21st (and for all you South Bay-ers, he’ll be at the Rio in Santa Cruz on the 18th). We’ve got a pair of tickets to give away to the Regency show – just shout if you want ‘em.
