Free Music Review: acid folk rock music raises its foggy head revisited
Hit: 5 Stars
If you have been following the VETIVER story arc, then you know that on THE FIRST CD, all the great names in the present psychedelic folk rock scene, were gathered and had a little rainbow party (or so it sounds) in the recording. Names like Hope Sandoval (Read:MAZZY STAR), Devendra Banhart (The darling of the freak folk movement), Joanna Newsom (The harp player, and childlike singer, who's last album YS was declaired a masterpiece by many...not me, but many others I suppose), and a host of others. Seriously, this is a band that has PEDIGREE. However, i didnt fall into this band, thru the first album, i started here, on the second CD. The first song has this cool drone running thru it, and it sounds very eastern, then its followed by the next song with a strong beat, that if nothing reminded me of late period MGM songs by the Velvet Underground. Then, the CD reaches its stride, in songs like NO ONE WORD, with its minimal guitar picking and smokey female vocals, and the beautiful DOUBLE, that reminds one of work by SIA (the singer from ZERO7). This song has much of a electronica sound happening in the production, which helps to break up the sound of the album in a nice way, to keep the audio picture constantly fresh and easy on the ear, without becoming easy listening. The album has wonderful walzes in it, which again seems to be a touchstone with all these new freakfolk musicians, even tho the FOLK part of the movement seems to be falling away, as we watch the new albums by IRON AND WINE, and DEVENDRA BANHART, etc, become more and more rock orienated. (As has Decemberists as well).
I dont know why, but this album really gives me a great sense of hope. Its been 40 years since the infamous SUMMER OF LOVE, and i never thought there would be another psychedelic revival of beauty in music, and meaningful lyrics, with complex and thoughtful musicianship, but here it is, thanks to the ACID group mind of San Fransesco. (or human talent and musical progress). The album in a whole, has enough going on, that you can play it over and over, and not get bored at all. In fact, its the kind of album that sort of leads you into another world of music. From here, its so easy to find the BANHART music, IRON AND WINE, ESPERS, NICK CASTRO, SIX ORGANS OF ADMITTANCE, and maybe Sufjan Stevens too. All these groups, are California bands, except for Sufjan Stevens, and Espers, which is a Philly band. I do think that a community that is this rich, seems to produce something greater than its parts. I dont know if San Franscesco is going to be the new SEATTLE, or ATHENS GEORGIA, or LIVERPOOL ENGLAND, or....San Fransesco 1967, when the Airplane, the Dead, the Moby Grape, Big Brother and Janis Joplin, Country Joe, Quicksilver, Steve Miller, Santana, CCR, and Its a Beautiful Day, showed people what a community of like minded spirits can do, when they work together, and have a common vibe of hope and beauty. So, if that kind of idealism, and forward looking musical forms and lyrics, with backward looking hippie traditions, is attractive to you, I would think that this would be a cool album to buy. Since different people are singing on different songs, you wont find the problem that you might find with some folk singers, when the voice might get "on your nerves" (technically, this has been diagnosed as AURAL DYLANITIS.) SO rush right out to your closest AMAZON.COM seller, and buy it today. AS the Jefferson Airplane once said, "LOOK WHATS HAPPENING OUT ON THE STREET, GOT A REVOLUTION GOT A REVOLUTION." And we need all the positive change we can get right now. PEACE BROTHERS AND SISTERS
