Biography
In 1970, the English folk singer Vashti Bunyan released one album, Just Another Diamond Day, before slipping into obscurity. Her album didn't sell, but it became a cult favorite, especially among the artists of the early 2000s freak folk scene. Bunyan left the music world behind to raise her kids, not even realizing how the music sh'’d made had resonated. In 2004, Bunyan re-emerged, singing a duet called 'Rejoicing In The Hands' with her young fan Devendra Banhart. Bunyan has gone on to an active recording career, making her own music and collaborating with artists like Animal Collective and The Avalanches. In late 2023, Vashti Bunyan & Devendra Banhart got back together to cover a song from another obscure folk singer-songwriter, Madelynn Von Ritz. Their cover version came out on the compilation LP, Light in the Attic & Friends (2023).
