Instrumentation comes from an all-world cast that includes Eric Johnson (Fruit Bats, EDJ), Gabriel Noel (Kendrick Lamar, Father John Misty, Tyler the Creator), Dan Iead (Kevin Morby, Cass McCombs), Josh Adams (Bedouine, Wild Nothing) and Tim Ramsey (Fruit Bats, Little Wings). Up On High was recorded with longtime collaborator Thom Monahan (Neko Case, Bedouine, Fruit Bats, The Donkeys, Peter Bjorn and John, Beachwood Sparks, Little Joy). Vetiver craft nuanced, understated songs that reward careful listening, building a rich duality a space where sunshine is only a chord away from melancholy, an introspective lyric underlies an extroverted chorus and subtlety tries to be outgoing in an effort to connect the dots of lifeвЂ™s ellipsis. Vetiver has toured around the world on headline tours and supporting artists that include Wilco, The Shins, Fleet Foxes, Beach House, Bob Weir & Phil Lesh and Vashti Bunyan. Up On High is his seventh studio album and the first since 2015. Vetiver is the long-running stage and recording name of San FranciscoвЂ™s Andy Cabic.

And in 2019 he tackled the Christmas album on The Holiday Sounds of Josh Rouse but instead of well-worn carols or classics, he wrote an entire record of original holiday themed pop songs. He followed that up with 2018вЂ™s Love In the Modern Age, which took its musical inspiration from the thinking manвЂ™s pop of the eighties: The Blue Nile, Prefab Sprout and the Style Council. The Embers of Time (2015) was one of his strongest albums вЂ“ self-described as вЂmy surreal, ex-pat, therapy recordвЂ™. In 2014, he won a Goya Award (the Spanish equivalent of an Oscar) for best song for Do You Really Want To Be In Love, from the film La Gran Familia EspaГ±ola. On El Turista (2010) he even experimented with writing and singing some songs in Spanish. Subtitulo (2006) contained the international indie folk hit Quiet Town. The follow up, Nashville (2005), continued the hot streak and expanded his audience further.ДЄfter relocating to Valencia, Spain with his wife Paz, Rouse has released a steady stream of high quality songs and albums. Noting that heвЂ™d earned a reputation for melancholy, he says, with a laugh, вЂI figured this is my career, I might as well try to enjoy it.вЂ™ While the Seventies are often identified with singer-songwriters, Rouse was primarily attracted to the warmer sound of albums back then, as well as the more communal feel of the soul music of that time. But at the end of the day, no matter how eclectic I try to make it, itвЂ™s my voice and melodic sensibility that tie things together.вЂ™ДЇor his 2003 breakthrough album, 1972, which happens to be the year he was born, Rouse decided to cheer up a bit. вЂI always became fascinated by a different style of music. вЂEvery time IвЂ™ve made a record, IвЂ™ve tried to make it different from the last one,вЂ™ says Rouse. The follow-up вЂ“ Home (2000) вЂ“ yielded the song Directions, which Cameron Crowe used in his film Vanilla Sky.

The albumвЂ™s acclaim led to tours with Aimee Mann, Mark Eitzel and the late Vic Chestnutt. Rouse was born in Nebraska, and following an itinerant upbringing he eventually landed in Nashville where he recorded his debut Dressed Like Nebraska (1998). They resolve without seeming overly tidy or pat. The verses draw you in with telling detail, both musical and thematic, and the choruses lift and deliver. Without pandering, they seek to satisfy both your ear and your understanding. They are clear-eyed, empathetic and penetrating. You donвЂ™t have to work hard to enjoy Josh RouseвЂ™s music.
