AMG Review of To Find Me Gone
Richie Unterberger
All Music GuideWith his second album, Vetiver mainstay Andy Cabic continues to make low-key folk-rock with a mildly psychedelic tinge that will appeal to fans of his friend Devendra Banhart. While Cabic's songs are at their heart placid reflective works, they're given some dreamy, at times trance-like ambience with the layering of sighing backup vocals, subliminal background droning elements, and campfire-in-the-woods percussion. At times he sounds like Marc Bolan in his early days (especially on the closing track, "Down at El Rio"), though without an edge that's as eccentric or grating. The country-rockish shuffle of "Won't Be Me" is about as high-energy as the album gets. Occasionally it moves into tunes with the yearning, reflective quality of numerous celebrated folk-rock singer/songwriters of the late '60s and early '70s, though the material generally has a somewhat spacier, more ambient quality than what you would have heard on such vintage releases. It makes for pleasant if undemanding listening, and if it's anachronistic, it's not self-consciously so.

This album from Vetiver. Holy crap. It's so freaking amazing. Sure, sure there's much being said about his friendship with a certain D*B* but that's only a side note. This is just as good, if not better. From the first track to the last, this album is solid. One of those you can listen to three times in a row without blinking. Amen, brothers. Amen.

Vetiver is this amazing Cali-folk-pop outfit out of SF, closely -- maybe a little too closely for their own good -- associated with Devendra Banhart. Not that I have anything against Devendra...he's brilliant, incredibly good at spotting talent and very, very generous about promoting the artists he believes in. Still, that sort of sponsorship only goes so far and then you have to prove you've...

Well it sure is quiet around here. I am not on boycott (insanely busy, perhaps) ... and no offense or lack of respect for my friends and e-fam who are, but I gotta stand on my own (never was much of a conformist anyway, drove my poor mother crazy!). Oh MOG, I love ya and like Schloopy's gaseous pain, this too shall hopefully pass. And for the two or three of you who are still listening, here ar...
