What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Clint feeling happy.

Oh this sounds nice its by Vetiver. Its lovely old sounding  backwoods folk. Somewhere between Devendra Banhart, Iron and Wine  and Sufjan Stevens. In fact this album features Mr Banhart as well as guest appearances by Colm O'Ciosig from My Bloody Valentine and Hope Sandoval. Its sounds utterly, utterly captivating on first listen. Highly recommended......and the violin player is called Jim Gaylord which will impress our Fats no end.

What the label says:

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 savannas with ease. Chief songwriter Andy Cabic grew up in northern Virginia and spent a few years in Greensboro, North Carolina, playing guitar and writing music as a member of the Raymond Brake, whose 1995 full-length, Piles of Dirty Winters (Simple Machines), melded experimental rock sensibilities with bright melodic touches of classic pop. After moving to San Francisco, Cabic enlisted violinist Jim Gaylord and cellist Alissa Anderson, along with Young God recording artist and troubadour du jour Devendra Banhart, who shares co-writing credits on "Los Pajaros del Rio" and "Amour Fou" and contributes guitar and vocals to the album. Anderson made the near-random acquaintance of My Bloody Valentine's Colm O'Ciosoig, and he ended up playing drums on "Luna Sea" and "On a Nerve," which brought along with it vocals on "Angels' Share" courtesy of Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval. "Amerilie" features the harp-playing of Joanna Newsom, Craig Koozer plays bass on "Amour Fou," and Nick Holdzkom piano on "Luna Sea."

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
