Can I just say every time Devendra Banhart releases a record I get angrier & angrier. Never has the phrase 'emperor's new clothes' made more sense. This new abomination of a single has some quasi mystical, semi religious messiah bullshit on the sleeve which makes me dream of violence against Jesus freaks. The song 'Heard Somebody Say' is so goddamn perceptive, radical & revolutionary I think I heard John Lennon yawn from his grave. Personally It just makes my toes curl. I just can't equate this predictable rubbish with the charming track 'Chicken' that rounds off this CD single. A pure & exhilarating slice of bluegrass fun that renders my whole argument against the prat questionable. Curses!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
