Devendra prepares Cripple Crow follow-up

Your girlfriend fancies him.

Devendra Banhart is working on the follow-up to Cripple Crow, his well-received album of 2005.

The as-yet-untitled album will be released, like the one before it, through XL in the UK. Currently in the studio - well, maybe not this exact minute - Banhart is working with Espers' Otto Hauser, Andy Cabic of Vetiver and Joanna Newsom's brother Pete on a new set of songs.

Banhart is to produce the album himself, alongside touring bandmate Noah Georgeson. As of right now Banhart has no European dates booked.
