Ma

"Tenth album Ma is one of the best examples of Banhart's playful approach to songwriting, with 13 songs that cover a wide spectrum of moods, homages, and quickly shifting styles ... While Ma isn't the most eclectic chapter of Banhart's work, it's an inspired and wide-reaching collection that goes all over the place without ever losing track of his restless creative vision".

"Devendra Banhart's latest album, Ma, is a tender, beautiful meditation on the bonds that ties us together ... "What was that thing you said when nobody spoke," Banhart croons. The beauty of these songs lies in their ability to conjure up subconscious thoughts and feelings just below the surface. He continues, "You must give up control / in order to win", and that serves as a key insight into what makes his music special. Banhart conjures rather than prescribes. The rest is up to us".

"In the last decade-plus, Banhart has seemed so busy searching for a new way to say something old that he's not managed to say much at all. But Ma is a record rich with takeaways, about how to get by and how to be kind in a social order that tempts us to be indolent and indulgent".
