▓████▓▌ [ A B O U T . T H i S . R E L E A S E ] ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ItÆs not often you come across an artist you can ▓▌
▓████▓▌ genuinely refer to as a æcult legendÆ, but Vashti ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Bunyan is truly that. A full 35 years on from her ▓▌
▓████▓▌ only previous album, the singer returns with her ▓▌
▓████▓▌ first new solo work, a breathtakingly beautiful ▓▌
▓████▓▌ album. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Now based in Edinburgh, VashtiÆs story tells of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ thwarted promise of early fame, disenchantment, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ long-term exile and eventual rediscovery. In the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ mid-æ60s, after quitting art school to concentrate ▓▌
▓████▓▌ on music, she was discovered by The Rolling StonesÆ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ guru, Andrew Loog Oldham, signed to Decca and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ recorded a single written by Jagger / Richards. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Reviews touted her as æthe new Marianne FaithfulÆ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ or the æfemale Bob DylanÆ (though Vashti claimed to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ be neither), yet further singles remained ▓▌
▓████▓▌ unreleased, leading to despair and a rejection of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the music industry. After living under canvas in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the bushes behind Ravensbourne College of Art, she ▓▌
▓████▓▌ bought a horse and cart and set off in 1968 with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ her boyfriend for the dream of a creative colony ▓▌
▓████▓▌ that the singer Donovan was setting up on the Isle ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of Skye. It took nearly two long years to get ▓▌
▓████▓▌ there, by which time Donovan had left, but the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ experience formed the songs for æJust Another ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Diamond DayÆ, the album recorded by Joe Boyd ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (featuring members of The Incredible String Band ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and Fairport Convention) in November æ69, during a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ trip back to London. On the albumÆs muted release, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ rather than hang around to promote the record, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Vashti left the city again to live with the ISB in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the Scottish Borders, and then (with horses, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ wagons, dogs and children) on to Ireland and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ obscurity. The record slipped out in a tiny ▓▌
▓████▓▌ pressing and was rapidly forgotten, yet gradually ▓▌
▓████▓▌ over the years accrued a cultish currency as a lost ▓▌
▓████▓▌ English classic. In the late æ90s, typing her own ▓▌
▓████▓▌ name into an internet search engine, Vashti became ▓▌
▓████▓▌ aware of this interest, and after tracking down the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ masters / rights, æJADDÆ was re-released û almost ▓▌
▓████▓▌ thirty years after she had ôabandoned it and music ▓▌
▓████▓▌ foreverö - to huge critical acclaim (The Observer ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Music Monthly placed it at 53 in their æTop 100 ▓▌
▓████▓▌ British albumsÆ). A host of young, new admirers ▓▌
▓████▓▌ emerged citing her influence, and Vashti has since ▓▌
▓████▓▌ recorded with Piano Magic, The Cocteau TwinsÆ Simon ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Raymonde, Devendra Banhart, and with Animal ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Collective on the æProspect HummerÆ EP that FatCat ▓▌
▓████▓▌ instigated in 2003 and released this spring. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Following our contact with Vashti, we began ▓▌
▓████▓▌ chatting and offering advice on some new songs she ▓▌
▓████▓▌ was writing and looking for a home for. After a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ while, it occurred to us that instead of advising ▓▌
▓████▓▌ her on other labels, maybe FatCat could be that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ home. She happily agreed and the result is this ▓▌
▓████▓▌ album. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Far from being simply some kind of appendage tacked ▓▌
▓████▓▌ onto the end of an amazing story and a past ▓▌
▓████▓▌ classic, æLookafteringÆ is a fully beautiful album ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in its own right. Produced by fellow Edinburgh ▓▌
▓████▓▌ resident Max Richter (whose æBlue notebooksÆ album ▓▌
▓████▓▌ was released on FatCatÆs 130701 imprint in 2004) - ▓▌
▓████▓▌ who also co-arranged with Vashti, itÆs a rich, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ beautifully arranged and stirring album. Developing ▓▌
▓████▓▌ gradually and organically û with work initially ▓▌
▓████▓▌ taking place between Max and VashtiÆs homes, and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ then at various studios in Edinburgh, London and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Glasgow û æLookafteringÆ is anchored around ▓▌
▓████▓▌ VashtiÆs voice and picked acoustic guitar, and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ MaxÆs piano playing and co-arranging. Its ▓▌
▓████▓▌ instrumentation includes a string quartet, oboe, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ harp, French horn, recorder, flute, hammer ▓▌
▓████▓▌ dulcimer, glasses, harmonium, and Rhodes piano, and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ it features contributions from Joanna Newsom, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Devendra Banhart, Adem, Adam Pierce (Mice Parade), ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Robert Kirby (Nick Drake / etc.), Otto Hauser and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Kevin Barker (Espers / Currituck County) ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 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, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in-your-ear presence of VashtiÆs voice. ThereÆs a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ real honesty to the album û from the fragile ▓▌
▓████▓▌ intimacy of the vocal itself to the stories it ▓▌
▓████▓▌ weaves. Just as æDiamond DayÆ was a very pure ▓▌
▓████▓▌ document of a journey, æLookafteringÆ is similarly ▓▌
▓████▓▌ based on stories taken directly from lived ▓▌
▓████▓▌ experience (the death of a brother; the joys / ▓▌
▓████▓▌ fears of motherhood; the tension between freedom / ▓▌
▓████▓▌ commitment and travel / domesticity). ThereÆs also ▓▌
▓████▓▌ a great integrity forged from the cohesiveness ▓▌
▓████▓▌ between lyrical content and musical form (the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ gentle rolling and pitching of the melodies on ▓▌
▓████▓▌ æSame But DifferentÆ; the vocal roundelay on æHere ▓▌
▓████▓▌ BeforeÆ; the ice-shiver of dulcimer on æTurning ▓▌
▓████▓▌ BacksÆ). The album title itself, a personalised ▓▌
▓████▓▌ word that describes the role of ôtaking care of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ someone - human or animal - or even something that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ needs to be done, that needs lookaftering.ö ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ æLookafteringÆ is released on DiCristina in North ▓▌
▓████▓▌ America, and on FatCat everywhere else. ▓▌
