Vashti Bunyan Announces 'Lookaftering' 20th Anniversary Edition With Previously Unreleased Tracks
Vashti Bunyan’s reemergence might’ve been the first real miracle of the early-’00s freak-folk movement. The English folk musician Bunyan released her debut album Just Another Diamond Day in 1970, and when it didn’t sell, she disappeared from music and went off to raise her kids. Over the years, Just Another Diamond Day became a cult favorite and an inspiration to younger folk musicians like Devendra Banhart, who wrote to Bunyan to ask for advice. Pretty soon, Bunyan was working again, collaborating with artists like Bunyan and Animal Collective.
