Devendra Banhart’s new album, Ma, is his first since 2016’s Ape in Pink Marble. Bursting with tender, autobiographical vignettes, Ma displays a shift from the sonic experimentation of his previous albums to an intricate, captivating story-telling and emotional intimacy.  Banhart favours organic sounds to accompany his voice and guitar, the arrangements bolstered by strings, woodwinds, brass, and keyboards.  He also debuts a fantastical, surrealistic video for the first single, ‘ Kantori Ongaku ’, which translates from Japanese to “country music” and is a nod to experimental pop legend Haruomi Hosono, a founding member of the influential electronic band Yellow Magic Orchestra.
