Devendra Banhart: Oh Me Oh My... (2002)

While Devendra Banhart is quickly becoming more and more famous, one must not forgot the god of folk that he once was. "Oh Me Oh My..." is a large collection of quality psychedelic-folk tunes, all of which seem to be recorded on an answering machine. Devendra layers his own vocals over and over to make his quivering voice even more fragile. The recordings are all incredibly "lo-fi" and yet they portray the music well. This album really is a "keeper."
