Banhart is featured on the new collection Master Mix: Red Hot + Arthur Russell to benefit the Red Hot Organization's fight against AIDS.
Devendra Banhart and longtime friend, musical collaborator, and fellow singer-songwriter Andy Cabic (Vetiver)—who together formed the vanguard of an experimental and folk-influenced aesthetic that emerged in the Bay Area around the turn of the millennium—will tour California in October 2014, performing both individually and together in a casual mix of older and newer material, including Banhart's 2013 Nonesuch Records debut album, Mala. See below for all of the dates; for additional details, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.
Banhart has contributed a track to the new collection Master Mix: Red Hot + Arthur Russell, a multi-artist tribute album to benefit the Red Hot Organization's fight against AIDS. Banhart performs the track "Losing My Taste for the Night Life." (His label mate Sam Amidon appears on the album as well, performing "Lucky Cloud.") The album is due out this Tuesday, October 21, and is currently streaming in full as an NPR First Listen.
To pick up a copy of Devendra Banhart's Mala, head to iTunes or the Nonesuch Store, where CD and vinyl orders include a free MP3 download of the complete album at checkout.
