Label: Nonesuch

Devendra Banhart presents his Nonesuch debut, Mala. The singer/songwriter co-produced the record with his long time bandmate, guitarist Noah Georgeson. Banhart's eighth studio album, 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 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 also notes how his voice has developed over the years: "I don’t really take care of my voice, but just like with playing guitar, you get more familiar with it, and you get better at it. I’ve always said that I’m very good at not knowing how to play the guitar but, really, it’s just that I’m very comfortable with the utter uncertainty of my approach."
