Hey, the new VETIVER record has been announced! It’s called the Errant Charm and is coming out via Sub Pop on June 14th, but for now you can get a free download of one of the tracks HERE. I play bass, of course, and sing backing vocals here and there. There’s also a touch of pedal steel guitar sprinkled in on one song. Weee!
