Andy Cabic of Vetiver opened the night, proving that Banhart wasn’t the only artist to release an album that slipped under the radar somewhat last year.
But while his pedigree (bearded skateboarder, dated Natalie Portman, did an Oliver Peoples advert) might suggest aloofness, the Venezuelan-American songwriter – backed here by a four-piece band – is one of the most magnetic performers around.
Banhart embodied a childlike restlessness, pacing the stage, adjusting his trousers, standing on one leg, walking side stage to simply touch the large handing speaker.
