Saturday, June 28, 2009 Pilton, England Glastonbury Festival Hospitality Campgrounds 10:30 a.m. I awake in a bath of warm sweat, again. It's even worse today than it was yesterday. I run outside my tent in my underwear only to see that two older ladies are sitting in front of me having some tea — how civilized. I want to ask them if they...

Bat For Lashes — Two Suns

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) April 30, 2009 1:44 pm
Natasha Khan's music has always been ethereal and vaguely spooky, but she's stepped it up on her second album. Half the time when Khan, who's from Brighton, England, sings on Two Suns, she sounds like she's singing through a fog in a rain-soaked moor in the middle of Yorkshire. Khan's haunting voice has drawn comparisons to Kate Bush, and they'...

Bat For Lashes — Fur And Gold

in
By Cameron Gordon (CHARTattack) October 30, 2007 8:28 pm
Natasha Khan is a bit of a weirdo and her Bat For Lashes project puts a distinctly provincial slant on the female singer-songwriter milieu. She enjoys dressing up in strange costumes and using plenty of face paint. Yet, when it comes to her music, she tows the line as a less difficult Cat Power or a less coked-up Stevie Nicks. Sinead O'Connor is...

Bat For Lashes — "Sleep Alone"

in
By CHARTattack Staff August 4, 2009 12:39 pm
The clip for "Sleep Alone," the second single from Bat For Lashes' Mercury Music Prize-nominated Two Suns, finds Natasha Khan trying (and failing) to sleep by herself before heading out in the street in a red Mackintosh. She then creates some kind of weird red pastiche made out of triangles which ends up being some kind of strange mobile...

in
By CHARTattack Staff May 29, 2009 10:50 am
Here's "Pearl's Dream," Bat For Lashes' latest video offering from Two Suns. It features Natasha Khan in a full spandex leotard with wings, hanging out in a creepy looking theatre with a crazy wolf, a smoke machine and a homemade solar system. She's all the while being watched by her alter-ego in a blonde wig. I hope those...

Natasha Khan's gone much more ethereal and spooky on this one. She sounds a hell of a lot like Kate Bush at times, and while this record may require a second listen to fully appreciate it, it's still great, even if the songs may not be as catchy as some of the tunes on Fur And Gold.
