Hand rendered type / illustration:
In a review by The Guardian, Kate Mossman describes Devendra Banhart;
'Such is his influence on psych and freak-folk in the last decade, Devendra Banhart no longer sounds particularly freaky – it's perfectly normal to record on vintage hip-hop equipment, combine flamenco guitar with frowsy 80s synths or write odes to the medieval mystic Hildegard von Bingen nowadays, as he does here (Damon Albarn is also a fan of the saint).'
This should be reflected in the album release webpage. The folk style has been represented by the use of a hand rendered typeface, which connotes a personal, organic feel. The light blue has been taken from Devendra Banharts current website, this colour looks calm which communicates the style of his music well.
