Free Music Review: Arguably Devendra's best yet
Hit: 5 Stars
To label Devendra as an eccentric might be a bit of an understatement. He's truly a hippie of our time, and like the best hippie's of yore he's managed to carve out a unique sound in music, even amongst the countless neo-folk artists that seem to be popping up these days. So when I say that "Rejoicing in the Hands" is my favorite album from Devendra, you can bet that it's going to be one of the best folk albums to have come out in recent years.
It just seems like he managed to really hit his stride here. Even the moments that appear to be the most gimmicky and "weird" (such as Poughkeepsie) seem to play perfectly into the record as a whole, adding a sort of playful, tongue-in-cheek quality as a contrast to the more honest, tender moments. And there are some pretty moving numbers interspersed throughout the album, whether it's (what seems to be) the nostalgia-tinged "Will is my Friend," the gentle harmonies of the title track, or the bittersweet closer, "Autumn's Child." It all seems to coalesce into an album that harkins back to the "Golden Age" of the hippie movement, but manages to sound new and fresh at the same time.
It's a truly great, modern folk album. I can't recommend it enough.
