Bleep

Few British folk artists come as legendary and unsung as Vashti Bunyan, and Just Another Diamond Day is doubtlessly her greatest achievements — for 35 years, it was her only documented musical achievement. Released in 1970 to little fanfare, Bunyan’s debut has since gained the critical and commercial stature it deserves, leaving deep impressions on modern folk and psychedelic music. In its own quiet way, Just Another Diamond Day is a mind-expanding record; an intimate collection of songs sung from a position of world-weariness beyond Bunyan’s years at the time, replete with pastoral imagery and a trippy bent akin to Fairport Convention or later celebrants like Joanna Newsom.
