> It\'s not often you come across an artist you can genuinely refer to as a cult legend, but VASHTI BUNYAN is truly that.
> 35 years on from her only previous album the classic \'Just Another Diamond Day\' recorded by JOE BOYD and with THE INCREDIBLE STRING BAND and FAIRPORT CONVENTION in 1970 the singer returns with her first new solo work, a breathtakingly beautiful album, \'Lookaftering\'
> Coproduced by FATCAT RECORDS recording artist, MAX RICHTER, this is a rich, beautifully arranged and stirring album.
> The album features many significant contributions from folkers old and new:
JOANNA NEWSOM
DEVENDRA BANHART
ADEM
ADAM PIERCE (MICE PARADE)
ROBERT KIRBY (NICK DRAKE)
> As well as a neat balance between gentle, sparse songs and heavier, more orchestrated numbers, there is a beautiful play between the lush instrumental arrangements and the incredibly intimate, inyourear presence of Vashti\'s voice.
> There\'s a real honesty here from the fragile intimacy of the vocal itself to the stories, taken directly from Vashti\'s own lived experience.
> Licensed to ROGUE RECORDS (BAP KENNEDY, CARA DILLON, DANIEL JOHNSTON) from FATCAT RECORDS (SIGUR ROS, MUM, ANIMAL COLLECTIVE).
>...the Tale of Vashti Bunyan... Vashti\'s story tells of the thwarted promise of early fame, disenchantment, longterm exile and eventual rediscovery. In the mid\'60s, she was discovered by Andrew Loog Oldham and signed to Decca. Touted as \"the new Marianne Faithful\" or \"the female Bob Dylan\", singles were recorded and unreleased, leading to despair and a rejection of the music industry. After living in the bushes behind Ravensbourne College of Art, she bought a horse and cart and set off in 1968 for the dream of a creative colony that the singer Donovan was setting up. It took nearly two years to get there, by which time Donovan had left, but the experience formed the songs for her debut album, released in 1970. On the album\'s release, Vashti left the city to live with the ISB in the Scottish Borders, and then on to Ireland and obscurity. A gradual and growing base of fans has been developing ever since...
