Vetiver “To Who Knows Where” – Listen

It’s been a full four years since Andy Cabic released his last album under the Vetiver name., but at long last there’s new music coming with November’s release of  ‘Up On High‘ which will be released on Loose.  The gentle and reflective ‘To who knows where‘ is the first single and a first listen will be enough to conjure up a dozen touchstones. Is there a warm hint of early acoustic Neil Young?  Surely there’s a nod to The Stray Gators?   Is that phrasing a bit like Nick Drake? Above it all though it’s Vetiver -taking those influences and then crafting an original.

As well as the new album there’s an end of the year UK tour to come – dates below the audio-video.

Sure, I could climb high in a tree, or go to Skye on my holiday. I could be happy. All I really want is the excitement of first hearing The Byrds, the amazement of decades of Dylan's music, or the thrill of seeing a band like The Long Ryders live. That's not much to ask, is it?
