The summer is dawning, and Vetiver return to Bristol for a special intimate Cube show of dreaming and drifting. Centred around the delicate voice and guitar playing of chief songwriter Andy Cabic, aided and abetted in the past and present by an ever changing array of friends, that have included such modern legends as Davendra Banhart, Hope Sandoval, Vashti Bunyan, and Michael Hurley. Tonight the band arrive in their new core line-up, here to celebrate the release of their new album “Thing of the Past”, covering some of their favourite artists and influences.
Moving smoothly between mesmerising folk minimalism, and gorgeously arranged‘70s West Coast contemplation, Vetiver bring songs that linger long in the memory, and cling close to the heart.
