OVERVIEW: An album based on a Hindu fable about being trapped in an escapable fate, with death and the limitations of our physical lives closing in from all corners. 'In The Vines' was written in the aftermath of a mugging, which was the climax of a year of depression and nomadic, nocturnal dislocation. But 'In The Vines' is not all peril and darkness; the songs are sung with such intimacy and earnestness that it sways somewhere between the serpent, elephant, bees and rats, the honey representing a strange sense of hope and delight in the brief moments of beauty that sustain our lives. The record features guest appearances from Sufjan Stevens, Jana Hunter, Viking Moses and many others. Former Castanets members have included Annie Clark of St Vincent and Rob Lowe of 90 Day Men, TV on the Radio and Lichens.
