MP3: Vetiver – “Everyday”

I’ll add Vetiver’s Tight Knit to my short list of favorites for the year thus far. I supremely enjoyed Thing of the Past and it’s follow-up More of the Past. If you’re familiar with their San Francisco sound you’ll need little convincing in picking up the album next week via Sub Pop.

If this is your first listen, think of them as a dreamier version of the Fleet Foxes. A band that took good musical notes on their supporting tour of the Black Crowes and earned a hat-tip from Gary Louris as a result. If you’ve got a well-worn copy of Neil Young’s Harvest in your collection, this could be it’s counterpart in this era.

Great as Tight Knit sounds now, where the winter meets the spring, I can’t wait till it soundtracks those lazy summer mornings and late night bonfires. Grab a listen to the track “Everyday” as a free and legal download below.

MP3: Vetiver – “Everyday”

I have my friend the Drunkard to thank for turning me on to the Vetiver’s Thing of The Past collection of covers. The recent Sup Pop signees apparently had a few more tunes stashed away that appear on the recently released five-song EP, More Of The Past. My favorite, “See You Tonight,” is a pretty folk-pop number that clocks in under three minutes, but is all diamonds.

More Of The Past and it’s predecessor come highly recommended to anyone who considers themselves a fan of old-school pop sprinkled with some Appalachian folk.

Vetiver are holding down support duties on the upcoming tour with The Black Crowes and have an upcoming long-player, Tight Knit, expected in February of next year on Sub Pop.
