Heartleap is Vashti Bunyan's third studio album, released in 2014 - a full 42 years after her famous debut album, 1970's Just Another Diamond Day. Her second album Lookaftering came in 2005 and now comes a third set that will no doubt delight her psych-folk cult following, but may leave others baffled. Her voice is delicate, breathy and almost frighteningly fragile β there are times when itβs a relief that she manages to get through a song β but she is helped by a backing of shimmering guitars, strings and keyboards, much of it painstakingly assembled by Bunyan herself. She is capable of writing strong melodies, but the mood here rarely strays far from the pleasantly soporific.
