My review of the new all-covers Vetiver album Thing of the Past just went up at Pure Music, and it started like this:Vetiver, Thing of the Past, (Gnomonsong)Thing of the Past is a quirky, lovingly considered covers album, unearthing long lost gems and also-ran album tracks. The band wraps these songs affectionately in warm arrangements of guitars, banjo, strings and voices. Yet though the album is worthy on its own terms, it is maybe even more interesting as a hint at how Vetiver has evolved. Or, more precisely, how the band shrugged off the free folk prettiness of the self-titled debut for the far richer, more inclusive vibe of To Find Me Gone. It was, apparently, all in the records they were listening to. More here: http://www.puremusic.com/86vet.html
