Pitchfork

Looks like it's album title announcin' day here at the ol' Fork!

Devendra Banhart has revealed the title of his forthcoming fifth full-length, and it is neither Cyber Christ and the Gnostic Titi-Slap part deux nor Foreskin Sword (what it is & how to use it). Instead, it's Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon. Yep, just as Devendriffic!

The record features frequent Devendra collaborators Noah Georgeson, Andy Cabic (Vetiver), Otto Hauser, Greg Rogove, Pete Newsom (Joanna's brother), and Rodrigo Amarante (Los Hermanos), as well as a host of others who contribute parts via "freedom chime," "water drum," "mop stomp," and "some other thangs," according to an email from Devendra's publicist.

Georgeson and Devendra co-produced the record, and a few of the 16 total song titles include "Cristobal", "So Long Old Bean", "Samba Vexillographica", and "Seahorse".

Smokey will do its rolling via XL on September 25, and Devendra has quite a previously reported tour assembled in its support. Those dates start August 10 in Oslo, Norway, and Georgeson, Rio En Medio, Matteah Baim, Jana Hunter, and Hecuba provide support.

The question remains, however. Devendra, Who is Kadamon?
