Who The Hell Is *Bat For Lashes*?

Last night I was chatting with CEC of The Disconappers, when he began raving on and on about Brighton-based performer, Bat For Lashes. After comparing her to Kate Bush, Bjork and Cat Power in one heavenly mixing pot, I had no choice but to do some major research on the songstress ASAP. Turns out he was right - she is magnificent. A stunning vocal range, a haunting sense of melody and a tendency to produce some highly amusing videos. Learn more about the Mercury Prize-nominated, Bat For Lashes, here on her official site. Check out the clip for 'What's A Girl To Do?' below. MP3 of the track at bottom of post.


Bat For Lashes is currently in the middle of a brief N. American tour. She'll be at NYC's The Knitting Factory this evening (for those of you not at MIA). For further dates check here!
