At its propulsive, fidgety best, such as Phonique's glowering "The Red Dress," Smagghe's mix offers up a definition of "plugged in" that's at once kinky and flash slightly disturbing. TIM FINNEY VETIVER Vetiver (DiCristina) Considering this San Francisco band's sound, Vetiver—a thin, tall East Indian grass—is an apt name. Their first release gathers disorienting folk songs so wispy they could be crushed by a child's foot flash or blown away by a slight breeze at any minute. Instead, vocalist Andy flash Cabic, guitarist/vocalist Devendra Banhart, cellist Alissa Anderson, and violinist Jim Gaylord stay the faltering course and provide for a pleasant, meandering journey along the way. Escape via automobile is a prevalent theme here: "Oh, papa/I'm takin' the car/You won't mind me missin' at all" ("Oh Papa"), and "Without a song I left the city/Borrowed a car with no radio/Gone before the sun had a chance to shine/The freeway weighed on my mind" ("Without a Song"). Similarly, Vetiver seems like a departure from somewhere and an arrival somewhere else, with a lot of stops to pick up temporary passengers: Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval croons hushedly on "Angel's Share," and My Bloody Valentine drummer Colm O'Ciosoig taps "Luna Sea" and lightly thuds the toms on the closer, "On a Nerve."
