A Thing Of The Past: Vetiver

For Vetiver’s first album in a couple of years, a covers record seemed like a strange direction to go in. But due to the fact that the band’s only constant member, Andy Cabic, didn’t have any original songs written but wanted a reason to get together, he forged ahead anyway.

The album is at once a warm and easy listen. Songs seem familiar but more so because of their easy ambling pace than for the writers names on offer here, historical music buffs apologies! The versions are great and it makes you want to track down the originals. A staple of our in-store play at Port Melbourne, this release deserves a wider audience.
