For Those Who Do Not Like It Heavy

I apologize for the last minute posts of the past couple days. Perhaps the page could also be used as a last-minute “what should I do tonight?” reference. I’ll hit you guys up with the weekend as soon as I can. In the meantime, think about how much you’re into dub and what you are up to on Sunday night. More on that soon, but here’s what’s happening tonight:

Vetiver, Espers and Feathers
12 Galaxies
$10

Local psych-folkie Andy Cabic’s Vetiver makes beautiful, quirky, simple folk. Imagine a less eccentric Devendra Banhart (who plays guitar on Vetiver’s first album and with whom Cabic started the record label Gnomonsong) with a more delicate voice, and you are on your way. Different stringed instruments (mostly guitar, cello) provide most of the non-vocal elements of the sparse yet warm music. Honestly, I haven’t listened to psych-folk Espers self-titled album in over a year, but I remember thoroughly enjoying it when I did. As for Feathers, I’m getting very busy at work, so I’ll leave you with a review and a track to download here. My money is on tonight being a night of beautiful psych-folk over at the 12 Galaxies.
