...cover of “Tight Knit” shows a silhouetted woodland scene superimposed over a stylized circular star map, reflecting a new direction for Vetiver’s music. The band has always had the quality of a hushed guitar-strumming circle in a forest clearing, but after three albums and five years, Vetiver’s “Tight Knit” makes a conscious effort to progress beyond the delicate, relaxed sing-alongs of their freak-folk origins for a more exuberant tone and perky production. Since Vetiver’s first appearance...
...rebates. But if the economies of developing countries can be grown, then their people will eventually become the replacement consumers and will buy goods produced in Japan and other hard-hit manufacturing/exporting countries. This is why it is so important not to delay projects like DESERTEC and the Sahara Forest Project. Such projects have the capacity to provide the power, fresh water and food essential to allow developing economies to move from subsistence living.

The paintings containing human—especially female—subjects function as the exhibition’s centerpiece. The moga, or “modern girl?...
...instrumentation—the glistening layers of beautiful acoustic guitar and the panflute—are unamplified, giving the song a very mellow and organic feel. M. Ward’s reverb-drenched vocals, unfortunately, feel as alien as bulldozers in an Oregon forest. M. Ward has a fine voice for folk music; why he feels the need to envelope it in reverb all of the time is a mystery. But “Hold Time” generally prevails in incorporating its distinct sonic elements to serve the holistic direction of its songs. What results is a unique, creative...
