Love Tom Petty’s music? Then check out Vetiver prior to Brighton concert

Love Tom Petty’s music? Then check out Vetiver prior to Brighton concert
Andy Cabic aka Vetiver will be performing in Hove in December

Vetiver aka Andy Cabic’s musical being is, like many curious 21st century musicians, shaped and sustained by divergent tangents. If he’s not crafting a melancholy folk rock diamond in his Northern California studio, he’s moving a dance floor with bossa nova and house DJ sets, or helping curate a compilation of Japanese City Pop.

What’s magic about this new Vetiver LP ‘Up On High’ is the way these tangents colour the ten songs without undermining a distinct move to more elemental, spacious and natural arrangements. At the heart of each of these ten songs is Cabic’s voice: sweet, tender and weathered – a welcome and soothing old friend if ever there was one. There are other familiar friends: the album also features longtime engineer and collaborator Thom Monahan and the same resourceful and versatile band that helped Cabic make the more dense and layered ‘Complete Strangers’ from 2015.

‘Up On High’ was written on acoustic guitar. Having moved twice since ‘Complete Strangers’, increasingly accustomed to a life in and out of boxes, it was the easiest instrument to reach for in moments of inspiration. The basic tracking of the album took place over a few Spring days at a friend’s house in the high desert of California. This simple set-up captured the organic immediacy of a roomful of friends playing together on the floor. It’s alive and ever so subtly crackling with the intensity of a band working together, teasing out the melody and rhythms of songs with warmth and intimacy. Cabic and Monahan took the fruits of this session to Los Angeles and finished the album at Monahan’s studio over the summer as other friends popped by to lend their talents.

This album reflects the world that Cabic created and lives in: Jorge Ben phrasings peek out from behind Tom Petty’s ‘Wildflowers’ outtakes, a gentle jangle lifts whispers of REM’s ‘Murmur’ on a breeze up from Compass Point Studios. But ‘Up On High’ is most clearly Cabic and his band inhabiting the realm the band was born in—sleek, economical, soulful, and sometimes sadness-tinged melodies riding on the gentle choogle and sway of an ensemble moving in beautiful unison. This is an album that breathes with you in real, lived in, natural time.

The third single from Vetiver’s upcoming album ‘Up On High’ is available now and comes in the form of ‘Wanted, Never Asked’. It’s “an ode to self-reflection, forgiveness and bird song, this tune captured a bit of the sun streaming in through the patio door,” says Vetiver’s Andy Cabic of the new song. “Not a lot of layers to this one; it shines on the surface.”
Listen to ‘Wanted, Never Asked’ HERE.

Vetiver’s ‘Up On High’ is out 1st November on Loose / Mama Bird on LP, CD and digital.

In celebration of this new album, Vetiver will be heading out on a UK tour with an appearance at The Brunswick in Hove (1 Holland Road, BN3 1JF) on Sunday 15th December – purchase your tickets HERE or from your usual agents.
