Pitchfork: Natalie Portman Stars in New Devendra Banhart Video

Natalie Portman Stars in New Devendra Banhart Video
And many other sentences completely inconceivable in 2003

We knew actress Natalie Portman and singing beard Devendra Banhart were tight; he did, after all, lay down an exclusive song for her Big Change: Songs for FINCA charity compilation last fall.

But apparently they're a lot tighter than that. MTV.com points us to this little tidbit: late last month, Nat and Big D collaborated on a video for "Carmensita" from Devendra's three-songs-too-long-player Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon. No word on just when we'll get an eyeful of these two frolicking to the strains of D's chugging cut, but, shit, it's a far better Portman + facial hair guy equation than that thing that came on before The Darjeeling Limited.

Other than frolicking with movie stars, Devendra's got a few gigs coming around, including a stop in late June at the Hollywood Bowl with one Gilberto Gil, and an appearance at Outside Lands in August. Though any time you want a little D in your life, you can always head this-a-way.

Devendra:

06-29 Los Angeles, CA - Hollywood Bowl *
08-22-24 San Francisco, CA - Golden Gate Park (Outside Lands Festival)

* with Gilberto Gil, the Album Leaf, the Incredible String Band's Mike Heron
