Harmony in Progress: Devendra Banhart's New Band Hug Devendra Banhart's new band, Hug, marks a significant departure from his solo endeavors.
Teaming up with guitarist Gyan Riley and producer/multi instrumentalist Noah Georgeson, Hug is set to release its self titled debut album on September 11 via David Byrne’s Luaka Bop label.
Banhart and Georgeson have been working together since their ambient album Refuge in 2021. Their musical chemistry is well documented, but the addition of Riley brings a new dynamic to the table.
