Devendra Banhart: Cripple Crow
Interview, Sept, 2005 by Amelia McDonell-Parry
DEVENDRA BANHART Cripple Crow (XL/Beggars)
San Francisco-based singer-songwriter Devendra Banhart emerged three years ago as the Cat Stevens-esque face of the neo-folk implosion with 2002's Oh Me Oh My ... (Young God), his critically adored debut laden with stream-of-conscious lyrics and warbled vocals. This fourth offering continues down that psychedelic road with songs that echo as if they were recorded on an answering machine--which, incidentally, as a homeless musician, was his recording equipment of choice. On the slow protest jaunt "Heard Somebody Say," he sounds nostalgic for the heyday of Haight-Ashbury, offering decries of war while a soft choir oohs and ahs in the background.
