Devendra Banhart What Will We Be

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The sixth studio album by Devendra Banhart is the best he's ever made....Proof comes early in 'Baby,' a ball of dancing guitars and choral glaze that sounds like a woodland Beach Boys..."
"[Banhart is] more energized than ever, snake-dancing his way through wild, Lizard King blues, goofing on glam-rock grandstanding, and just letting his thoughts grow..." -- Grade: B+

4 stars out of 5 -- "Across the course of these 14 tracks, Banhart references Brian Wilson in his celestial pomp, The Byrds at their most folksy and Tim Buckley at his dreamiest..."
3 stars out of 5 -- "Banhart can still turn in a beautiful melody: 'Angelika,' the later-reprised second tracks, sounds like a half-remembered lullaby."
