As another summer fades away we have a little something on offer to help you cling on to the feeling of those hazy days. Vetiver, whose album "The Errant Charm" was released earlier this year, are releasing "Can't You Tell" on a limited 12" vinyl which will also include two new remixes. These remixes have a real balearic feel, something that inspired Andy originally when writing "Can't You Tell".
As the summery "Can't You Tell" unfurls, you’ll begin to pinpoint some of the album's unifying elements, the integration of drum machines and a washed-out, ambient guitar sound, peppered with jangly flourishes. Then there’s "Hard To Break", the hazy, layered harmonies and sunlight-dappled guitar evoking fond memories of Fleetwood Mac circa 1982's "Mirage".
Cabic and producer Thom Monahan have already made four Vetiver records together and know each other's aesthetics well. It wastime to experiment more, which was why Cabic didn't arrive at Monahan's LosAngeles studio with many completed songs. Instead, they started with lots of loose ideas and fleshed out the best bits. In some instances, they augmented or edited parts by themselves, and at other junctures they waited until the remaining Vetiver players could convene in one place to contribute. Those full band performances figure prominently in the album's driving midsection… “Right Away”, “Wonder Why”, “Ride, Ride, Ride”… each of these selections is more propulsive and rocking than the one before it. Certainly that was Cabic's intention for The Errant Charm, to push the dynamic range of Vetiver to previously unheard extremes.
