Tamaryn - Love Fade

Singer-songwriter Vashti Bunyan today announces Lookaftering - Expanded Edition, a reissue of her legendary second album, out on 7 February 2025 via Fat Cat Records. 

Marking the occasion of 20 years since the original release, and coinciding with Vashti’s 80th birthday, the new expanded edition features the original studio album along with a second LP / disc of demos, an alternate take, and a live performance version. This edition also comes with reflective sleeve notes from Vashti, producer Max Richter and Devendra Banhart, as well as a 16-page lyric booklet featuring a collection of paintings by Vashti's daughter Whyn Lewis  – paintings that they both say have closely, and coincidentally, reflected the lyrics of the album. 

Originally recorded between 2001 and 2005, the unreleased demos were created at Vashti’s home on her accompanying electric and acoustic guitar along with a host of experimental instrumentation from synths, accordion, piano, strings, pipe organ, harmonium and recorders. The collection of demos offers a more stripped back sound compared to the finished album, and the live version of Lately recorded at an early “comeback” gig in LA in 2006, orchestrated as on the record, is absolutely pitch perfect.
 
Listening to the demos and the final versions side-by-side while reading the sleeve notes is a wonderful experience, learning and hearing how the songs and the long-player evolved, with Vashti and Max Richter (who produced and played on the album), explaining how all of the artists involved (Devendra Banhart, Johanna Newson, Adem Ilhan, Robert Kirby and members of the band Vetiver), touched by Vashti’s original 1970 album, Just Another Diamond Day, jumped at the opportunity to be there. Max Richter recalls, “It felt like a community project; a family of people coming together”.

Devendra Banhart said: “Lookaftering is a quiet prayer for a world left behind, a remembrance of a world that could have been but never was, a Lookforwarding to a world that may yet still be... As ethereal and haunted as these eleven songs may be, they are also rooted in the earthly magic of wisdom born from experience. Something so rare and honest it’s nearly otherworldly in its total human-ness.”

Speaking of the reissue, Vashti said: “the beautiful photograph of Max in the studio playing wine glasses with his young daughter’s violin bow, brings it all back to me - how very fortunate I have been.” 

Vashti Bunyan-If I Were (Demo, 2001)

I see you out
every night
just like me
I wonder what you're chasing now
do you get it for free?
the only one
to talk you down
wont pick up the phone
here we go in this roundabout
its better than sleeping alone

This is getting out of hand
You did it to yourself again
This is getting out of hand
You did it to yourself

Its not your crowd
crazy eyes
glitter and gold
everybody's coming down
standing in the cold
drive around
a thousand miles
nowhere to go
I pass your house a thousand times
nobody's home

This is getting out of hand
You did to yourself again
This is getting out of hand
You did it to yourself

You Did It To Yourself Again
