2005, XL Recordings
VINYL FORMAT. Banhart's fourth
critically acclaimed album, released in
September 2005, now available for the
first time on vinyl. This double LP set
contains seven extra tracks that were
not included on the original CD release.
The artist rose to indie rock prominence
via several releases for New York-based
Young God Recordings since 2002,
particularly last year's Rejoicing in
the Hands. Cripple Crow
blends Banhart's familiar acoustic side
with a broader range of instrumentation
on such tracks as "Long Haired Child"
and "When They Come." Three ballads,
"Santa Maria Da Feira," "Quedate Luna"
and "Luna De Margarita," are sung in
Spanish, which was Banhart's primary
language growing up in Caracas,
Venezuela.

Customer Reviews




Peter PendergrassThis is Devendra's fourth official full length album, and is a true beacon of his talent and prowess as a songwriter. This album has more interesting instumentation than Rejoicing in the Hands and Nino Rojo, but the core soul of the songs is still there. Devendra's music takes you into a little forest where you get to dance around with trees and bumblebees. The long awaited LP version of the album is especially...special. Limited to 500 copies world wide, and including alternative cover art (a collage rendition of the original cover, created with fan photos that were submitted as part of a contest) this double vinyl set includes all the b-sides from the two singles taken from the album ("Heard Somebody Say" and "I Feel Just Like a Child"). This is a great thing to purchase, particularly for a vinyl collector. These will be all over eBay in 3 years.
