#35 Seller of 2005! Singer/songwriter Devendra Banhart presents his fourth album, the 23-track Cripple Crow, and first for XL Recordings in North America. 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.

Some ''old school'' Banhart fans may tell you that you should listen to his older material because Cripple Crow is ''over produced'' and blah, blah, blah. Nonsense. A great album by a fantastic singer/songwriter/guitarist. There's nothing wrong with clarity if you write really pretty songs. Buy this today!

I have to say Devendra Banhart writes some really strange, interesting music. It is kind of like hippie, indie, folk, latino, all mixed into one. I am amazed at how nothing else sounds like this. I would say Devendra Banhart is not for everyone but it is worth checking out. I really like the album. My favorite tracks are "Long Haired Child" and "I Feel Like a Child". I also like how he throws in the spanish singing song like "Quedateluna". Definitely something different, but very good.
