Review

Vashti Bunyan's debut album, "Just Another Diamond Day," first saw the light of day in 1970, unveiling a poignant and introspective journey through lyrical and vocal tenderness. Drawing inspiration from Bunyan's travels through Scotland in a horse-drawn wagon, the album is a minimalist masterpiece with subtle, brilliant lyricism and emotive vocals that paint the landscapes of her experiences.

Initially overlooked by the public and critics alike, the album’s sparse instrumental accompaniment, under the meticulous supervision of record producer Joe Boyd, has since garnered widespread acclaim. This re-discovered classic, re-released in 2000, rejuvenated Bunyan’s musical career, leading to the celebrated follow-up album, "Lookaftering," in 2005. Now regarded as one of the cornerstones of British folk, "Just Another Diamond Day" endures as a singular testament to Bunyan's unique and timeless artistry. - Nadia
