Vashti Bunyan

Heartleap Vashti Bunyan

2014 album from the singer/songwriter. Nine years after LOOKAFTERING, her last album of new material, legendary British singer/songwriter Vashti Bunyan returns with the breathtaking HEARTLEAP. Recorded largely in her home studio, the album is a unique and entrancing collection of 10 songs forming what Vashti is adamant will be her final album. Vashti's third album follows her rediscovery - after 30 years in the wilderness - with the 2000 re-release of JUST ANOTHER DIAMOND DAY (a bona fide cult classic that made # 53 in the Observer Music monthly's 'top 100 British albums of all time'), and the critical success of 2005' s LOOKAFTERING. HEARTLEAP has a classic sound and sees her break free from previous frustrations to deliver an album where - for the first time - she herself has been in control of the whole process, from writing and arranging to playing and recording. Working predominantly from a studio set up in her Edinburgh home, the record was slowly pieced together, and reveals an artist at her peak, capturing her songs within fluid settings that masterfully marry content and form.
