Vetiver : To Find Me Gone

2006 sophomore album by Andy Cabic's ever-evolving band Cabic, a member of Devendra Banhart's band, has expanded Vetiver into a full-on singer-songwriter project, aided and abetted by some of the best players in the extended family of which Cabic finds himself a member. Musically, there's a dreamy Topanga Canyon vibe on select songs (maybe that's the pedal steel calling on 'No One Word'), and there's also plenty of crunchy candy for those who have appreciated Cabic's recent nod toward the magic of '70s-era Fleetwood Mac. To Find Me Gone is Andy Cabic's own original statement, one that many will consider as one of the finest albums of 2006. 11 tracks. Fatcat.
