Devendra Announces Thunder Canyon Tracklist; Streams Two Tracks on MySpace


"Shabop Shalom"!

The delightfully bent Devendra Banhart has slipped us the tracklist to his forthcoming opus Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon, and, despite the decidedly frowny feeling one gets from the absence of both "Hubba Hubba Planet" and "Electric Pizza Cops", it's still rather Devendran in its manner. Take, for example, "Tonada Yanominista", or "Shabop Shalom"; a little odd, I suppose, but it seems Devendra's letting the musical weirdness trump the bizarre nomenclature.

Speaking of which, Devendra will be streaming two tunes from Smokey on his MySpace. That'll be the first crack you get at Smokey, nearly two months before its September 25 release on XL. UPDATE: "Tonada Yanomaminista" and "Rosa" are up now!!!

In other Devendra news, his contribution to that Janet Reno CD drops a week before Thunder Canyon, and he's got a tour afoot. Dates after the tracklist.
