Gypset Lifestyle ~ Devendra Banhart

The New York times called his songs “free associative work” and Spin Magazine classified them as “trippy-hippie tone poetry,” but I would personally consider the Gypset artist Devendra Banhart as good. His music compilations are the epitome of Gyspet music.

His music is relaxing, folky, and a tad bit psychedelic. Many critics have likened his Gypset-like work to the recently emerging Freak Folk genre that favors artists like Dirty Projectors and Grizzly Bear.

Devendra Banhart, songwriter, and Gypsetter has been actively creating albums since 2002, though he has been playing  music with a Gypset vibe his whole life. He is also a considered a visual artist and spent some time at the San Fransisco Art Institute before he dropped out to perform music in Europe.

 

Banhart is perfect for an early morning yoga session, for a day drive along the beach with friends, or to lull you to sleep on a long overnight flight. It is the quintessential addition to your Gypset playlist. I am looking forward to what comes next from this Venezuelan sun child.
