Devendra Banhart exploded on the international music scene last year with two albums, Rejoicing In The Hands and Nino Rojo. Cripple Crow was recorded at Bearsville Studios in Woodstock, NY with regular sidekicks Andy Cabic, Noah Georgeson and Thom Monahan.

The new album features 22 new songs, with Devendra continuing his extraordinary growth as a writer, vocalist and musician. The hushed, mysterious acoustic alchemy that has delighted his fans still remains but there is also a more elaborate element, featuring a range of electric instruments, a rock rhythm section, sitar, flute, violin, cello and exotic percussion. Cripple Crow sees Devendra’s sound expanding as he and his company effortlessly transform across the album from sun-dappled psychedelic gypsies… to acid-damaged garage-band… to gentle folk troubadours.
