Entertainment Weekly (p.57) - "[T]he music's unexpected twists and turns make you feel like you're the one who's fallen into a pleasant dream." -- Grade: A- Uncut - 3 stars out of 5 -- "'Down From Above' has cascades of spangling acoustics and a dreamy, socially sculpted atmosphere..." CMJ - "The album, seamlessly transitioning between surrealist lullabies, playful, bobbing folk ditties, and bohemian berceuses, evokes the feeling of being gently rocked by the ocean waves." Q (Magazine) (p.111) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's their most melodically accomplished and wide-ranging effort yet....The delicate arrangements provide an object lesson in the virtues of understatement." Mojo (Publisher) (p.107) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "TIGHT KNIT is a beautiful, lazy album of befogged West Coast dreams....Cabic's amiable, balmy voice sings of freedom, escape and...generally not coming back. The perfect getaway." Blender (Magazine) (p.64) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Everything here, from the restrained pedal steel and drifty organ to the lyrics, reflects a gentle informality that has nothing to do with laziness and everything to do with following the flow." Paste (magazine) (p.66) - "Cabic sings with silver-throated vocals and in some ways his songs hang loose....It feels both timeless and anachronistic -- like nature, Vetiver observes its own time." Pitchfork (Website) - "TIGHT KNIT is built with a keen ear for detail, be it a subtle dose of pedal steel or a gently rippling guitar effect, and it features Cabic's most consistently engaging batch of songs to date." Clash (Magazine) (p.111) - "'On The Other Side' has a low-slung drum-machine groove that could have come from a Beck album, while 'Down From Above' gingerly dips its toe into a frosted pool of electronica."
