Sensitive Devil - Crash Richard
Crash Richard didn’t set out to become LA’s most quietly compelling sensitive devil. But after years with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros — and co-founding the Deadly Syndrome, whose Dim Mak debut The Ortolan earned cult admiration — the New Orleans native returns with a record that’s personal, political, and raw enough to bleed.
Sensitive Devil is what happens when a double Gemini with a designer’s hands and a street performer’s heart turns inward — drawing songs from the hollows of the American plight, the family tree, and the strange weight of staying human in a fraying world.
Born to a Cajun family outside New Orleans, Crash moved west after Katrina with a week of laundry and a string of gigs. In LA, he built sets, played bit parts — including a surreal stint as a youthful Santa Claus in a series of national commercials — and eventually joined Edward Sharpe full-time. Between tours, he quietly shaped a sound of his own.
