Cult folk singer-songwriter Vashti Bunyan returned in 2005 with the great Lookaftering, her first LP since her 1970 debut Just Another Diamond Day. Now, Bunyan has announced a third record, Heartleap, to be released October 7 in the U.S. via DiCristina and October 6 in the UK via FatCat. In the time since Lookaftering, Bunyan has also released a 2007 archival collection of singles and demos, Some Things Just Stick in Your Mind, named for her 1965 debut single penned by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. In the fall of 2008, a documentary about Bunyan's life premiered in England, directed by Kieran Evans. Heartleap was written, produced, and primarly arranged by Bunyan. It was mostly recorded by Bunyan alone in her own studio, according to a press release, as well as in other studios in England, Scotland, and the U.S.
