Devendra Banhart : What Will We Be

Limited edition four panel wallet-pack plus booklet of illustrations and drawings by Devandra. 2009 album from the acclaimed singer/songwriter. What Will We Be has a sunny, breezy feel with performances that evoke warm, lazy afternoons spent with good friends. The album is dominated by powerfully melodic, mid-tempo numbers played with relaxed expertise. But there's also ambitious stylistic range displayed with the inclusion of evanescent ballads like 'Meet Me At the Lookout Point,' the epic riff-rocker 'Rats', sprightly R&B flavored groovers on 'Baby,' and the sultry Latin-flavored stunner 'Brindo,' and the Roxy-inspired '16th & Valencia Roxy Music' among other pleasant surprises. The album was recorded in a sleepy Northern California town throughout the Spring of 2009, and was co-produced by Paul Butler (from UK outfit Band Of Bees).
