Cripple Crow (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition): Double Vinyl LP w/ Bonus Clear Green Smoke Vinyl LP

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: Heavy Flowers
Release Date: 12th September

20th Anniversary of this 'Freak Folk' classic, it does sound like a party in a forest with a bunch of wacky sorts, which should absolutely be a little portal of hell, HOWEVER Devendra is so charming, charismatic and has so much natural swagger (he's hot too, which helps) that you couldn't help be suckered in by his mystic folksy T Rexy ways. 

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 the out of print release that features a 3rd Bonus LP (on Clear Green Smoke!) 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!
