Devendra Banhart's music takes effort to enjoy.
His newest album, Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon, is another lengthy affair featuring hippie-friendly folk jams. Weighing in at 16 full-length tracks, the new album contains more acoustic guitar and surreal chanting than even Banhart's fans can deal with.
