Today's Subjects: ----------------- Bat for Lashes? [adamk@zoom.co.uk] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2006 10:45:33 +0100 From: adamk@zoom.co.uk Subject: Bat for Lashes? Have they been mentioned, here? They sound intriguing. A five star review of their new album, "Fur and Gold" was in the Guardian last week: "The debut from this Brighton three-piece - Natasha Khan, Caroline "Ginger Lee" Weeks and Abi Fry - is a never-ending story of fantastic dreams and heartbreaking reality. Viewed through Khan's mystical eye, the chapters unfold with a sense of wonder and slow, powerfully evoked drama. Awash with organic sounds and abundant in animal imagery - the moonlit dance with her steed in Horse and I, the lonely marine life of Seal Jubilee - Khan celebrates travellers, and teaches a sense of community. Her otherworldly voice is pitched somewhere between Kate Bush and Emiliana Torrini. Dark tales of suburbia sit alongside teenage angst, which burns through the gothic 1960s pop of What's a Girl to Do? Bat for Lashes inhabit a magical kingdom you won't want to leave".
