History
[edit | edit source]Vetiver was formed in San Francisco in 2002. The band released their self-titled debut album in 2004 on the small indie folk label DiCristina.[1] 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.[2] 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.[3] The label also released in 2008 Vetiver's Thing of the Past, a collection of cover songs that have influenced Cabic's aesthetic.[4] Sub Pop Records (US) and Bella Union (UK) released Vetiver's Tight Knit (2009)[5][6] The Errant Charm (2011),[7][8] and Complete Strangers (2015).[9]
The band shared the bill with Vashti Bunyan on her US tour in early 2007.[10] Over the years, the band has toured with artists like Fleet Foxes,[11] The Shins, Fruit Bats[12] and Wilco.[13]
Cabic's music has also been featured in numerous TV commercials, including an original song for Birds Eye.[14] He[who?] also works as a composer, including the documentary The Family Jams[15] and the film Smashed, which was shown at the Sundance Film Festival in 2012.[16]
