This new expanded edition features the original studio album along with a second disc of demos, an alternate take, and a live performance. This edition also comes with a stunning 16-page lyric book featuring a collection of paintings by Vashti's daughter, Whyn Lewis paintings that they both say have closely, and coincidentally, reflected the lyrics of the album. Also included are sleeve notes from Vashti, producer Max Richter, and Devendra Banhart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally recorded between 2001 and 2005, the unreleased demos were created at Vashti's home, with Vashti accompanying herself on electric and acoustic guitar along with a host of experimental instrumentation including synths, accordion, piano, strings, pipe organ, harmonium and recorders. The demos offer a more stripped-back sound, with the live version of \"Lately,\" recorded in 2006 at the Echo in LA, offering a pitch perfect performance by Vashti's North American touring band of Gareth Dickson, Jo Mango, Kevin Barker, Helena Espvall, and Kat Hernandez. Listening to the demos and final versions side by side while reading the sleeve notes, and taking in the beautiful new artwork is a wonderful experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eLookaftering\u003c\/em\u003e is some kind of miracle.\" Uncut\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eLookaftering\u003c\/em\u003e is a quiet prayer for a world left behind, a remembrance of a world that could have been but never was, a Lookforwarding to a world that may yet still be... As ethereal and haunted as these eleven songs may be, they are also rooted in the earthly magic of wisdom born from experience. Something so rare and honest it's nearly otherworldly in its total human-ness.\" Devendra Banhart\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1        Lately\u003cbr\u003eA2        Here Before\u003cbr\u003eA3        Wayward\u003cbr\u003eA4        Hidden\u003cbr\u003eA5        Against The Sky\u003cbr\u003eA6        Turning Backs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eB1        If I Were\u003cbr\u003eB2        Same But Different\u003cbr\u003eB3        Brother\u003cbr\u003eB4        Feet Of Clay\u003cbr\u003eB5        Wayward Hum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eC1        Lately (Live, The Echo, Los Angeles, 2006)\u003cbr\u003eC2        Here Before (Demo, 2005)\u003cbr\u003eC3        Wayward (Alternative take, 2005)\u003cbr\u003eC4        Hidden (Demo, 2002)\u003cbr\u003eC5        Against The Sky (Demo, 2002)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD1        Turning Backs (Demo, 2004)\u003cbr\u003eD2        If I Were (Demo, 2001)\u003cbr\u003eD3        Same But Different (Demo, 2005)\u003cbr\u003eD4        Brother (Demo, 2002)\u003cbr\u003eD5        Feet Of Clay (Demo, 2002)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47321068568750,"sku":"657628449812","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6118\/0334\/files\/vbl01.jpg?v=1767401849","url":"https:\/\/morrowrecords.com\/products\/vashti-bunyan-lookaftering-20th-anniversary-expanded-edition-2lp-bonus-tracks-16-page-lyric-booklet","provider":"Morrow Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
