Violet B2B Bradley Zero - 13 March 2023

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)

Let’s Get Started Already (feat. Abigail Chapin) comes out on April 15, and the record release show to be held at Non Plus Ultra on April 19.

This song was recorded in New York with my long-time collaborator Jesse Lee (former drummer of Gang Gang Dance and Cass McCombs band) and features Abigail Chapin (from The Chapin’s Sisters and member of her uncle Harry Chapin's Family Band).  

We wanted to focus on recording real instruments and live performances.  This experience was a welcome challenge for me; to make something psychedelic without relying on effects.  I channeled my freak folk roots and recalled early recordings I did with artists like Animal Collective, White Magic, and Weyes Blood to craft a song with a positive message in this period marked by so many existential challenges.

playing the long game

Rusty Santos is a musician and producer known for making avant garde music and experimental pop.  He first gained attention producing Animal Collective’s Sung Tongs and through his collaboration with Panda Bear on Person Pitch.

His solo work explores subliminal territory, emerging from his nonlinear approach to music production and composition, creating inside of dreams, collaborating with new artists, and using the studio as an instrument. He invites the listener to step outside the conventional norms of song and sound. 

Rusty’s catalog spans epochs, having produced and mixed records for artists like Born Ruffians, Dirty Projectors, and Dawn of Midi, and mastering albums for artists like Beach House and DJ Rashad.

His roots in the acoustic and electronic psychedelia scenes, including collaborations with Black Dice and Gang Gang Dance, have informed his approach to making records; his influence is felt across the underground.
