Devendra Banhart announces Cripple Crow 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition
Devendra Banhart has announced the 20th anniversary reissue of his album, Cripple Crow, alongside releasing a demo of "I Feel Just Like A Child".
The Cripple Crow 20th Anniversary album reissue includes a third bonus album featuring a never-before-released recording from the Cripple Crow sessions, “The Seventies”, as well as “Shame”, the long out of print B-side to “Long Haired Child”, five previously unreleased demos and two live recordings. It also includes expanded artwork and liner notes written by Banhart himself.
Speaking of the reissue, Devendra Banhart says: “Cripple Crow! equal parts gag and pride! What a trip! What a ride! What a time! It’s all a bit embarrassing and yet, it was such a beautifully free time of uncensored experimentation and loving camaraderie that I can’t help but be proud to share this reissue with a bunch of new stuff I can’t believe didn’t get burnt in my ‘burning my archives’ phase! Thank you to everyone for sharing bits of pics and ephemera ya had flopping around!”
A day before the release of Cripple Crow 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, Banhart will embark on a limited run of performances in the USA, UK, and EU, including a show at London’s Union Chapel on 12 November.
Cripple Crow 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition will be released on 12 September via Banhart’s own label Heavy Flowers, distributed by Secretly Distribution, and is available to pre-save now.
