Devendra Banhart - Michigan State

Before he was an iconic folk figure, Devendra Banhart was already talented. Oh Me,Oh My, his debut album, gathers pocket freak folk songs recorded on microcassette recorders and answering machines. It sounds impressive most of time, some of these songs are haunting and quite scary, the dark diary of a disillusionned 18 years old boy living in a cold, water-less squat. In this hopeless record there are little candles scattered here and there, putting things back into perspective. "Michigan State" is one of these.
