Vetiver

Vetiver is an American folk band headed by songwriter Andy Cabic.  The band released their self-titled debut album in 2004 on the small indie folk label DiCristina. Since the album’s release, Vetiver has toured extensively, opening for and collaborating with Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom. Vetiver released another album, To Find Me Gone, on DiCristina in 2006. Banhart and Cabic also launched their own label, Gnomonsong Recordings, releasing Jana Hunter’s Blank Unstaring Heirs of Doom in 2005 and There’s No Home in 2007. The label also released in 2008 Vetiver’s Thing of the Past, a collection of cover songs that have influenced Cabic’s aesthetic. Sub Pop Records (US) and Bella Union (UK) released Vetiver’s Tight Knit (2009), The Errant Charm (2011),  and Complete Strangers (2015) for which the band is still touring.
