With NINO ROJO, San Francisco Bay Area neo-folkster Devendra Banhart brings forth a companion to his acclaimed REJOICING IN THE HANDS, released earlier in 2004. Sitting barefoot by the metaphorical campfire next to Beck, Tiny Tim, Karen Dalton, and Vincent Gallo, Banhart plays acoustic guitar and sings in a manner that's quirky, catchy, and a bit spooky. Here the tunes range from loopy ditties ("We All Know"), warbled mantras ("Ay Mama"), and half-crooned/half-whispered sing-alongs ("A Ribbon") to works that include a little help from his likeminded friends, including Vetiver's Andy Cabic ("At the Hop").
"Little Yellow Spider" comes off like a perverse Raffi record, as interpreted by Mississippi Fred McDowell. Later, Banhart channels the vocals of both Blind Willie McTell and Marc Bolan for "Noah," which includes whistling and a mournful piano. The enhanced CD presents a great, "psychedelicized" video of Devendra and friends jamming on "At the Hop," which will surely cause pleasant flashbacks for anyone who's ever spent a weekend in a woodsy cabin full of hippies.
Live Recording
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.Uncut (p.97) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[H]is forte here, as before, is a whimsical anthropomorphy that populates his songs with all manner of animal crackers..."
The Wire (p.51) - "The pinched, quizzical tone is uncannily close to that of pre-electric Mar Bolan....There's a tantalisingly ingenuous spirit behind these 16 songs....His singing and guitar playing are subsumed by a hazy, casual atmosphere."
CMJ (p.4) - "The shiniest of the new breed of post-Barrett crazy diamonds shines on NINO ROJO....Full of those neo-outsider twists and turns, but ups the ante with lusher production..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.102) - 4 stars out of 5 - "His voice quavering like pre-glam Bolan, Banhart casts bare yet mesmerising acoustic spells..." Purchase Nino Rojo CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Nino Rojo album
 $6.39   
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," ...

Joanna Newsom plays the harp, looks like an elf princess, and sings in a squeaky child-like voice, all of which contribute to her unique charm. Like her pal and frequent collaborator Devendra Banhart, she's ...

Nino Rojo music CDs
$11.99
Acclaimed eccentric singer/songwriter Devendra Banhart takes a step out of the lo-fi basement and into the hi-fi living room for this critically lauded album. During a span of only 10 days, Banhart recorded more than 30 songs (co-produced by former Swans leader Michael Gira) that were subsequently divided between this record and its companion disc, NINO ROJO. Those already familiar with that gonzo folk masterwork will find this to be equally ...
| | Arcade Fire Funeral CD (2004)
Nino Rojo songs
$12.05
This Montreal ensemble's fiery debut is marked by surging guitars, soulful strings, driving drums, brilliant bass lines, and the quavering vocals of married couple Win Butler and Regine Chassagne. The group's song structures careen through a vast territory of musical and personal history, with lyrics warm with memories of childhood neighborhoods and deceased loved ones, resulting in an alternating current of joy and sadness.
Favorably compared to the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, and Broken Social Scene, the Arcade Fire's sound seems to come from a lifetime of listening to the Cure, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, and many others--even a dose of soul gets worked into these grand anthems. Chassagne ...

This CD, released as part of Bear Family's brilliant, mind-boggling Smash! Boom! Bang! German '60s beat series, will seem like complete ersatz to most listeners, who might wonder why they should reach out to a German rock & roll band that they likely never heard of. And the joke would be on them because, for anyone who loved the early singles of Gerry & the Pacemakers, the Beatles, the Roulettes, or the Dakotas, and who also has a fondness for the lean, melodic instrumentals that the Shadows were doing in the early '60s, the 16 songs on this CD represent a little slice of heaven. The group members harmonize well, they play hard but in an articulate fashion, and they have an honest, naďve enthusiasm, born of youth, that shows a genuine love for what they are doing. This reviewer had to resist the urge to dance to their ...
