LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

There is an African saying that it takes a village to raise a child; this is the philosophy that singer/songwriter Devendra Banhart must have adopted for his fifth album, Cripple Crow.

With friends Noah Georgeson (Joanna Newsom), Thom Manahan (The Pernice Brothers) and Andy Cabic (Vetiver), Banhart recorded an album that oozes a sense of community and is more expansive and ambitious than any of his previous albums.
His alternative folk sounds more unique yet also more accessible; Pitchfork-approved Cripple Crow calls forth the memory of Tim Buckley, Marc Bolan, Bob Dylan and Donovan all in one.

Available through Music On Vinyl on 180 grams audiophile vinyl in a gatefold sleeve, these 23 songs will have you riding the pacifist wave of a translucent and slightly psychedelic fellowship of musicians from start to finish."
