Banhart, Devendra: Cripple Crow (3LP-20th anniversary delxue edition) LP

Can you believe it? Devendra Banhart's "Cripple Crow" - originally released by XL in 2005 - is turning 20 years old. This was the 5th album from the Venezuelan-American artist who is considered the pioneer of the "freak folk" and "new weird America" movements. To celebrate, Devendra has compiled a reissue of "Cripple Crow" that features a bonus 3rd LP (on clear green smoke coloured vinyl) featuring 9 bonus tracks, including 1 B-Side, 5 previously unreleased demos, 2 previously unreleased live tracks, and 1 unearthed smash hit from the recording sessions. This release is the first on his newly created Heavy Flowers label. The album received a "Best New Music" 8.4 review from Pitchfork upon its release. The release date will fall 1 day prior to the actual 20th anniversary, which will be the first time Devendra is early for anything. Now THAT is something to celebrate! Limited to 2000 copies.
