Vashti Bunyan (1970)


Whispery folkie that sounds very pretty at first but goes terribly boring after a while.

The best thing about this album are arrangements : acoustic guitars, flutes and all very dreamy and artsy. It might work very well as background music while you are reading a book on a rainy day but it honestly it bored me to tears very soon and we all know quite a few high school girls capable of doing this. Simplicity of songs like "Lily Pond" makes it occasionally like music for kindergartens. Compared to this, 1960s Marianne Faithfull was a belter.
