Vetiver
Tight Knit
(Sub Pop )
|
After a wonderful set of covers (More of the Past), San Francisco folk-rock ensemble Vetiver is back to playing Andy Cabic's luminous, gently unfurling originals. With some of the spiritual bounce of a George Harrison groover and some of the ethereal beauty of a Gene Clark heartbreak ballad, Cabic sails this ship on an even keel through lovely seascapes into uncharted waters. This group sings and plays like a family you'd want to be adopted by.
Vetiver's 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.
