Vashti Bunyan

Vashti Bunyan is an English singer-songwriter and folk musician, whose work in the late 1960s and early 1970s has had a profound influence on the psych folk sub-genre. Bunyan's 1970 album Just Another Diamond Day saw very little publicity upon its release, but over the decades has became an iconic work to a younger generation of singer-songwriters, including Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom. After releasing that album, Bunyan took a musical hiatus of over three decades, in order to raise her children in the Scottish countryside. The album was re-released in the year 2000, and followed by a new album, 2005's critically lauded Lookaftering, and a rarities collection, Some Things Just Stick in Your Mind: Singles and Demos 1964-1967.
