Banhart, Devendra
Mala (w/7" & Cd)
Limited vinyl LP pressing includes bonus 7' single and CD edition. The eighth album from the eccentric
singer/songwriter. Banhart co-produced the record with his longtime bandmate, guitarist Noah Georgeson. Mala was
recorded in his then-home in Los Angeles. He and Georgeson played most of the instruments themselves, using borrowed
equipment and a vintage Tascam recorder they d found in a pawn shop. "A lot of early Hip Hop had been made on [the
Tascam], " says Banhart. "And knowing my songs are not Hip Hop whatsoever, we thought it would be interesting to see how
these kinds of songs would sound on equipment that was used to record our favorite Rap. Let's see how this technology
would work for us. " It was a new approach for the pair. "In the past we were more like, let's use the oldest equipment
we could find. " Banhart's previous release, 2009's What Will We Be, received critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone
calling it "the best he's ever made. "
