About the Single: Known and loved as a generational talent, Devendra Banhart lends his eerie and subtle musicality to this rendition of a song from Green’s 2006 album Jacket Full of Danger. Whereas the original track evoked the classic 70s rock balladeering of Springsteen and Steely Dan, Banhart’s version is intimate in the way that only he can be. His unique voice is the like a stone skipping on the surface of a lake, its haunting echo like a song sung in deep dark cave. Longtime freinds, Green and Banhart go way back to the early days of 2000s indie-rock, and both have careers in the visual arts as well as music. Banhart’s inclusion on Moping in Style was inevitable, and his version of “Pay the Toll“ is one of its standout tracks. A Tribute to Adam Green: “Pay the Toll“ is a classic example of Adam Green’s versatile lyricism. It paints a mysterious and bizarre mental picture of youthful indulgeness and sensual urban depravity, yet also seems to touch on notes of humor as it translates all this through a kind of Sinatra-meets-Springsteen veneer. How many drugs does it take to find something to do? Everybody, it takes two. There you have it! Stay Tuned: “Pay the Toll“ becomes available on all major streaming platforms on November 24th.
