Devendra Banhart Talks with Tim Kinsella (Joan of Arc) for the Talkhouse Podcast

The two multi-hypenates—who recently covered each other's music—talk spirituality, staying sane, and hallucinatory experiences.

On the heels of covering each other's music as part of Joyful Noise Recordings' very cool Cause & Effect series, Devendra Banhart and Tim Kinsella (Joan of Arc) sat down to record a Talkhouse Podcast episode about the project. They touch on it for a moment and then, as one might expect from such restless and prolific artists, veer away, never to return.

Their talk instead covers their upcoming books, the poems that came out of Devendra’s "ashram-hopping in India," and the nuts and bolts of what goes into staying sane as highly productive working artists. Oh, and we also hear their argument for a hallucinatory experience as a prerequisite to lead the United States of America ...

Check it out, and subscribe now to stay in the loop on future episodes of the Talkhouse Podcast.

Today’s episode was recorded by Tim and Devendra, and co-produced by Mark Yoshizumi.
