Vashti Bunyan - Lookaftering (20th Anniversary), 2x Vinyl LP

Vashti Bunyan’s ‘Lookaftering’ is 20 years old. To mark the occasion, and also Vashti’s 80th birthday, an expanded 2xLp gatefold edition has been released. As well as the original studio album itself, the second LP features demo versions, alternate takes, and live performances of all the original album tracks.

This edition also comes with sleeve notes from Vashti, producer Max Richter, Devendra Banhart and a 16-page lyric booklet featuring a collection of paintings by Vashti's daughter Whyn Lewis – paintings that closely, and coincidentally, reflected the lyrics of the album.

Dating from 2001 to 2005, the demos were recorded at home by Vashti, accompanying herself on acoustic and electric guitar and experimenting with synths – from piano to strings, pipe organ, harmonium, recorders and accordion. The sound is, of course, stripped back compared to that of the finished album, but the live version of Lately recorded at an early “comeback” gig in L.A. in 2006, orchestrated as on the record, is absolutely pitch perfect.
