Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Look at Natasha Khan, with her Cleopatra shawl and elfish hair, on the cover of Fur and Gold and you’ll surely have this half-Pakistani, half-English songstress pegged as the first British riposte to the US freak-folk movement that’s thrown up figures like Joanna Newsom, Devendra Banhart, and Cocorosie. In some ways, that’s an accurate comparison: Bat for Lashes has a way with mystique, one which elevates even quite simple topics-–the break-up tale of "What’s a Girl to Do?"-–into grand achievements of ghostly trauma: "My bat-lightning heart," she whispers, "Wants to fly away". Dig a little deeper, though, because the music to be found on Fur and Gold has a more complex provenance. "Horse and I", a harpsichord-led track embellished with Theremin and a militaristic drum motif, is the sort of vintage-modern soundscape reminiscent of Bjork at her most restrained, while elsewhere the dramatic tale-telling of "Prescilla" and "Bat’s Mouth" suggest Bat for Lashes might yet develop into a songwriter of the poetic calibre of Kate Bush. The debut album from Bat for Lashes is a haunting, richly orchestrated work that, for all its experimentation and intelligence, is emotional and deeply moving. --Louis Pattison
CD Description
The debut release by Bat For Lashes - the alter ego of British singer-songwriter Natasha Khan - draws influence from other female musical pioneers including Kate Bush and Bjork. Produced by Khan herself together with David Kosten of Faultline, 'Fur And Gold' subtly combines elements of indie, folk and electronica, resulting in a delicately crafted album featuring beautiful vocals, accomplished songwriting and innovative instrumentation. Includes the singles 'What's A Girl ToDo,' 'Trophy' and 'Presilla'.
