Golden Apples of the Sun - Selected By Devandra Banhart


I have been listening to this fantasic collection of underground folk melodies put together by Devendra Banhart a lot recently. It is a wonderfully eclectic mix of music. There are 20 tracks in all and I highly recommend it if you recognize an artist or two. In fact, even if you don't recognize an artist, but you enjoy that alt/folt low fi sounds that has become quite popular this is a treat for sure and relatively hard to find.

1. Vetiver (with Hope Sandoval) - "Angel's Share" (from the "Vetiver" LP)
2. Joanna Newsom - "Bridges and Balloons" (from "The Milk-Eyed Mender" LP)
