Devendra Banhart shares new track 'Sirens'

With his highly-anticipated new album landing in the coming months, Devendra Banhart has now dropped the next cut to be lifted from his forthcoming full-length.

The new single 'Sirens' comes accompanied by a stunning new video, a collaboration with Christian Stavros and directed by Joseph Wasilewski, and follows on from the previously shared lead track 'Twin' in previewing his new LP 'Flying Wig', which is out on the 22nd September via Mexican Summer.

Speaking about the new offering, he said, “Sirens” is about the bewilderment that precedes longing, the space between “everything hurts” and “oh there's a nail stuck in my back,” it’s like the relief mixed with fear that comes from finally finding the target. We haven’t hit it yet - but we know where to aim, that’s where the “And Yet”-ness of this song is. Another theme that seems prevalent throughout the album is obstacles into antidotes. I mean, what a bummer right? "Only the violence will ever hold me tight” but if there’s no getting rid of then our only sane option is to learn to dance with it. This is all lyrical…musically we wanted it to feel like dancing alone, weeping in a crowd, and somehow even relaxing into that melancholy, the sensual side of sorrow, the mournful side of joy.”
