About Vashti Bunyan
Vashti Bunyan started out in the mid-1960s London pop world, cutting a single of the Jagger and Richards song "Some Things Just Stick in Your Mind" under Andrew Loog Oldham. She then left the city and spent a long stretch travelling north by horse and cart towards the Hebrides, and the songs from that journey became Just Another Diamond Day, produced by Joe Boyd.
After the album's revival, younger musicians including Devendra Banhart and Animal Collective sought her out, and she sang on Animal Collective's Prospect Hummer EP. She returned with Lookaftering in 2005, made with Max Richter, and followed it with Heartleap, which she presented as her last album. Her singing stays close and quiet, set against fingerpicked guitar and spare strings.
