Recent tour reviews

• Vetiver

  Absolutely one of the best music venues i have ever attended. The music of Vetiver and Fruit Bats is as soothing to the soul as any drug. They are truly artisans of their music. The audience was the best behaved group of people i have ever encountered. You could hear a pin drop during interludes of the melodious performance. I would definitely attend another performance.

• There’s been a slew of unfortunate genre tags that seem to have been thrown around as if fashionable over the course of the past decade or so; the NME were responsible for some of them, including nu-rave to describe the scene that involved the likes of Klaxons and nu-folk as an all-encompassing term for the likes of Mumford and Sons and Laura Marling. Perhaps the worst of them all, though, was ‘freak folk’, which seemed to stick to the likes of Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom and Antony and the Johnsons on the basis of little more than the fact that their sound leant towards folk and that they were also mildly eccentric. Whilst it’s probably fair to consider them as having been on the fringes of any scene that they might have been associated with, Vetiver were also such a proposition - a modern band, signed to Sub Pop, who offered up a slightly unusual take on a traditional folk sound. It’s been enough to carve them out a cult fanbase, though, especially through the energetic shows they’ve played in support of the likes of The Shins and Fruit Bats over the years; you can check them out for yourself when they line up dates in support of the follow-up to 2011’s The Errant Charm.
