Absolutely cannot wait to let this new one do its thing to me. Any chance of a re-up on the originals from Thing/More Of The Past? I missed the boat the first time around and would love a second chance... I was blown away by “To Find Me Gone”, and further impressed by the covers records last year.

Tight Knit, unfortunately, deviates too much from Vetiver's folk roots, making it incohesive with the Vetiver's 2008 masterpieces. Pitchfork gave it a 7.2/10 - I will bestow it a 6.5/10. While worthy of a listen, it lacks Vetiver's signature folky touch to make it a true folk masterpiece (along with other outstanding flaws). Enjoyable in a different way than Vetiver's other oeuvre and perfectly decent in multiple ways. While I enjoyed the album, I did not enjoy it as much as Thing of the Past or More of the Past.
