After moving to San Francisco from North Carolina, frontman Andy Cabic joined forces with singer-songwriter Devendra Banhart, violinist Jim Gaylord and cellist Alissa Anderson for Vetiver's self-titled debut, released in 2004. With guests including Joanna Newsom, Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval and former My Bloody Valentine drummer Colm O'Ciosoig, the album brought a warm balance between late '60s country rock, Americana and D.I.Y. minimalism that pleased the indie masses. Gathering more of Cabic's friends for Vetiver's sophomore album, <i>To Find Me Gone</i>, the group expanded and polished their sound with bigger beats and electric guitars. A follow-up came in 2008 with <i>Thing of the Past</i>, a collection of covers by singer-songwriters including Townes Van Zandt, Michael Hurley and Dave Brock, that revealed some of Cabic's favorite forgotten tracks from 1967-1973. - Stephanie BensonIndie Popen720Wed, 25 Nov 2009 01:42:17 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5195118&rws=%2Fvetiver%2Fmusic-videos.rss Vetiver combine lush layers of acoustic strings and delicate vocals with a touch of carefree psychedelia.
