Pitchfork: Devendra Banhart Reveals New Album Details

Devendra Banhart Reveals New Album Details

When he's not covering Antony & the Johnsons for The Believer or lending songs to Fat Tire beer commercials, Devendra Banhart makes his own albums with lengthy tracklists. His fourth studio effort, Cripple Crow, was recorded earlier this year up in Woodstock, N.Y., at Bearsville studios.

A release for the album says: "This new album finds Devendra continuing his extraordinary growth as a writer, vocalist, and musician. Songs like 'Now That I Know' and 'I Do Dig a Certain Girl' among others provide more of the hushed, mysterious acoustic alchemy that delighted listeners on preceding set though the new tunes show still greater artistic depth and delicacy."

Cripple Crow will be released in North America on September 13 by XL Recordings. Tracklist:
