More Information

Four Tet

Four Tet

The solo electronic project of Kieran Hebden of post-rock band, Fridge. What you get here is a beguiling and baffling journey into sound; a mixture of folk-inflected electronica and lo-fi murmurings incorporating elements of jazz, techno and hip-hop. His first two releases were NME singles of the week and his 2005 album, Everything Ecstatic has secured him the title of King of folktronica.

The Dirty Three

The Dirty Three

Atmospheric, haunting melodies from this Australian group. Hailed as the finest Antipodean three-piece since The Dead C and having toured globally with acts as diverse as Nick Cave, the Beastie Boys, John Cale, Pavement and Henry Rollins, the Dirty Three are viewed as 'exceptional in many respects. An instrumental, violin-led trio who are lauded by the music intelligentsia but who embody the primitive appeal of rock?n?roll unlike any other' BELLAUNION.com

Vetiver

Vetiver

San Franciscan band Vetiver, Andy Cabic’s ever-evolving line-up of bay area musicians (including at one time or another Devendra Banhart) released their debut album in 2004, which was highly praised by critics and received gratefully by the public. Cabic’s troupe of contemporary folk and country musicians has made Vetiver one of the most unusual and interesting bands on the scene, and has nurtured musicians such as Banhart, Joanna Newsom and Alissa Anderson at the beginnings of their careers. ‘Vetiver are named after an aromatic East Indian grass that grows in California, and their music delivers on the sunny, hazy sweetness the band's name suggests.’ (NME)

Andrew Bird (2)

Andrew Bird (2)

Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist and lyricist Andrew Bird picked up his first violin at the age of 4. Actually, it was a Cracker Jack box with a ruler taped to it, and the first of his many Suzuki music lessons involved simply bowing to the teacher and going home. He spent his formative years soaking up classical repertoire completely by ear so when it came time for a restless teen-ager to make the jump to Hungarian Gypsy music, early jazz, country blues, south Indian etc., it wasn't such a giant leap. It's fitting that now, though classically trained, he has instead opted to play his violin in a most unconventional manner, accompanying himself on glockenspiel and guitar, adding singing and whistling to the equation, and becoming a pop songwriter in the process.
