ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Vetiver are commonly lumped into the nascent "freak folk" movement alongside the likes of Joanna Newsom and Six Organs of Admittance, thanks to leader Andy Cabic's friendship with scene founder Devendra Banhart. (Besides Banhart's musical contributions to Vetiver's first two albums, Cabic co-wrote Banhart's breakout song "At the Hop," from 2004's Rejoicing in the Hands; on the same album, Banhart paid tribute to his friend's band in the song "When the Sun Shone on Vetiver.") However, the band's roots go deeper than Syd Barrett and {$Linda...[more]

 

 

Vetiver grows in a "less is more" chaparral where simplicity offers ample room to wander. Strongly fertilized by traditional acoustic music, and more subtly cross-pollinated by the sparseness of "minimalism," with its bare suggestions of melodies that the listener fills in for himself, Vetiver gracefully navigates folk and pop savannahs with ease. Led by chief songwriter Andy Cabic (ex-Raymond Brake), along with violinist Jim Gaylord, cellist Alissa Anderson, and sometimes member Devendra Banhart (who share   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Insound Staff Pick - 2008! Vetiver's fourth full-length represents a summation of the different styles and directions heard on their past releases while introducing some unexpected twists. Their tunes have been described as "dreamy, gentle songs that George Harrison would have written in some sunny country garden." This is a layered and rich record, with subtleties and nuances that reveal themselves with repeated listening.

VINYL FORMAT. Two years after the highly acclaimed To Find Me Gone, Andy Cabic and Vetiver return with a new album of old songs, all hidden treasures, entitled Thing of the Past.

VINYL FORMAT. To Find Me Gone is the second album by Andy Cabic's ever-evolving band Vetiver, released two years after the debut self-titled release. Andy has since toured the world, usually as a member of Devendra Banhart's band, and sometimes even with Vetiver. In those two years, Vetiver has expanded into a full-on singer-songwriter band/project, aided and abetted by some of the best players (and usually his best friends) in the extended family of which Cabic finds himself a member.

The new Vetiver mini-album was recorded whenever and wherever possible-- including live shows, radio sessions and Andy Cabic's own living room. Featuring Cabic originals including "Been So Long" and "Maureen" as well as a cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Save Me a Place," Between gives a subtle hint as to where the second full length is heading. Cabic is about to get to work on recording the next album, with Thom Monihan (Pernice Brothers) once again co-producing. Musicians appearing on the album include the curr   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. This limited-edition 7-inch single, "Hey Doll Baby" b/w "Miles Apart" possesses the rich Vetiver treatment that makes the special songs the band's own. "Hey Doll Baby" is already an established concert favorite, beloved by Vetiver's burgeoning fan base. The B-side of the 7-inch, "Miles Apart," by AR Kane (the same duo who wrote "Pump Up the Volume"), provides a strong taste of Cabic's love of '80s UK alternative pop.
