Ones
Devendra Banhart's 'Ones' appears on his 2002 album Oh Me Oh My..., a pivotal recording that helped establish his reputation within the folk and psychedelic scenes. The track reflects the intimate, acoustic-driven sound that characterized his early work before he gained wider international recognition. Banhart's songwriting during this period often blended whimsical imagery with a distinct, raw vocal delivery, setting the stage for his subsequent explorations in albums like Cripple Crow and Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon. This recording captures the artist at a formative moment, showcasing the delicate textures and unconventional phrasing that would become hallmarks of his discography. 'Ones' stands as a testament to Banhart's unique approach to indie folk, offering listeners a glimpse into the creative foundation that supported his later, more expansive musical projects. |
