BAT FOR LASHES: What's A Girl To Do?

Another hynotic single from Natasha Khan and company, also know as Bat For Lashes. Haunting and minimal are yet again the themes, shrouding Natasha's mysterious purr enveloped in harpsicord and kettle drums. The video, which already ripped across the blog-o-sphere, is a genius execution by Colonel Blimp director Dougal Wilson. Giant mascot headed BMXer's pedal, hop and twist in sync to the subtle pulsing break beats of this trip hop masterpiece. A cliptip favourite with a Donnie Darko-esque bunny headed bullet. Watch the music video (qt).

BAT FOR LASHES: Prescilla

Natasha Khan, the lead woman behind London's Bat For Lashes has been generated UK music rag heat for the past couple of months. I picked up her debut on Echo Records while on a trip to the UK recently and I have not been disappointed. The middle eastern influences meld nicely with the contemporary instrumentation and downtempo electronic hi-jinks some journos would term trip-hop. But make no mistake, the dark, brooding and sparse atmospheres created stir a mood currently lacking in popular music. The video is directed by Andy Bruntel @ the directors bureau.
