On Wolfroy Goes To Town, the 2011 release of BONNIE PRINCE BILLY and his backing band THE CAIRO GANG, there's been this moment, somewhere halfway through the outstanding track Quail & Dumplings, in which a female voice arose – majestic yet unstable, shivering yet clear and strong, proclaiming "why wait for someday, why make a The post Angel Olsen - Half Way Home appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .

Oh Fauxchella, how I do I count the ways.  While most of the world waits diligently to attend something overly populated with clutter, annoyance, and unwelcoming weather, the locally abounding intellects know you will be there for us.  Engrossed entirely inside night four of eight, you gave me Bat For Lashes.  While there were about [...] The post Fauxchella Review: Bat For Lashes at The Regency Ballroom, 4/14/13 appeared first on Spinning Platters .

There's no denying the harp slowly but surely becoming something of an instrument du jour. De l'année even, with Serafina Steer's  The Moths Are Real for one right up there among the incontestable LPs of this year thus far. And here tinkering with a synthetic take on those same strings is Mancunian songstress Claire Brentnall – aka  Shield Patterns – who masterfully weaves trad folk inflexions with an oneiric ambient that's at once distinctly wintry. Comparisons with Natasha Khan emulating the albeit inimitable warble of a certain Kate Bush will doubtless abound, though [...]

It's hard to even so much as envisage an artist ever scaling greater heights than those charted on a consummate pop song entitled Gabriel, but that's precisely what Greco-Roman signee Valentina's been diligently up to of late. First came the vintage, ebullient balladry of Wolves from a forthcoming EP of that same name, and below we've a more silky, widescreen recording still in Ladders. She may sing of hit and runs, her soaring vocal again articulating lyrics innately associated with the supernal and the dearly departed, but this one's a distinctly earthly treasure: her [...]

Watch the ‘Lilies’ Music Video From Bat For Lashes Don’t you just love it when Natasha gets weird? Check out the video below.

After releasing one of last year's A-listed albums as well as making our Top 101 Songs of 2012  (" Laura " came in at No.15), you probably already know by now that we quite enjoyed Bat For Lashes ' last album, The Haunted Man . And as you'd expect, her new video for the standout track " Lilies " only intensifies our love for Ms. Natasha Khan with some truly impressive visuals.  It's a little Björk [...]

Like Sia, Imogen Heap, Florence + the Machine and the rest of her fellow British baroque-pop songstresses, London-born Natasha Khan, better known as Bat for Lashes , has all the breathy-voiced charm and quirky good looks that make for love at first sight. The daughter of a Pakistani former professional squash player and an English mother, Khan’s music bears all the drama and conflict and beauty of her biracial heritage. “Lilies” is the opening track from her third disc, The Haunted Man , a hauntingly poetic, dream-like New Age anthem, shimmering with [...]

(Words/grovels by Mel Tan) Festival reviews. Generally a good place to describe the weather in hourly increments, tweet-debate the best burger van based on the number of guys with sleeve tatts and flat caps standing in line, maybe say some nice comments about some bands. Like every other media outlet covering this festival this year, I would have liked to wring out some nice prose describing every set in such detail so that anyone who who didn't get along could have heard how awesome Real Estate were, smelt the sweat seeping from the abundance [...]

We laughed, we cried, we listened to a shit-ton of music this year. Given our varied tastes in music (Norah Jones! Psychedelic electro! Frank Ocean!) it was hard to pin down a definitive Top 5, so we at Death and Taxes composed our personal favorites of the year. Here are our collective 25 favorite records of 2012, in no particular order.

Natasha Khan's ghosts are captured in a magnificent grandeur that will leave its listeners enchanted. Capitol, 2012 8.8 / 10.0 A lot of the early press for Bat for Lashes ' new album, The Haunted Man, centered around its interesting album art. The black and white shot of a [...]

Bat For Lashes' third album, The Haunted Man, is quite different from her previous releases. The tribal drums and dark drama that first brought our attention to Natasha Khan's alter ego have been replaced with atmospheric electronics and somber melodies. Even Natasha's voice sounds different, at times straining to reach an angelic soprano level when [...]
