If Devendra Banhart was a little older, Larkin Grimm could be his rebellious love child (unsurprisingly, the two share the same record label, Young God Records). There is just enough of an artistic personality crisis in Grimm’s music that moves her beyond the folk-Appalachian-meets-avant-garde we’ve heard before. The soft acoustic notes and simple melodies of “The Butcher” and Eastern-inspired, high-pitched strings and chanting rhythms of “Durge” are equally accessible. Grimm’s life reads like a modern fairy tale, from her childhood in a cult to being a former member of Dirty Projectors, and her raw talent and creative urges should only continue to develop. Catch one of her intense live shows on Sept. 2 at the Knitting Factory, Brooklyn, NY with Birds Fled from Me. – Whitney Phaneuf
