English-Pakistani Bat for Lashes is my newest find. A friend emailed me asking to do a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "I'm On Fire" and he sent the remake version Bat for Lashes had on her 2007 album, Fur and Gold , which was simply stunning. Bat for Lashes is the stage name for 31-year-old Natasha Khan, whose latest album, 20092s Two Suns , is considered her most experimental. The album centers on an alter ego named "Pearl" who Khan says she created while living in Brooklyn. The albums sound is also purported to be [...]

These guys sampled the drums from "Be My Baby," one of my favorite 60's songs performed by The Shangri-Las and produced by one of my musical heroes, the pop mastermind Phil Spector. At face value, this song is about the thrill being gone, the end, going from liking someone to indifference. The callous overtone may turn some off but being a romantic realist I find this stage of a relationship just as interesting as actually being in love. Hey, if you can't find the good in the "bad," well then your just not that creative ; ) This video [...]

So I mixed up a few dates and thought the new Bat for Lashes album was coming out this month. Actually, her new album was only just announced yesterday. Two Suns, Bat for Lashes sophomore album, will be out April 6. What is around this month is a deluxe vinyl edition of their debut, Fur and Gold.

English Version: With a Mercury Prize 2007 nomination and a peculiar video in high rotation, Bat For Lashes won my attention. It's not a group, in fact is the musical alter ego of British Pakistani Natasha Khan, whose visual style emphasizes the culture and religion of the old continent. Musically, the basis of Fur & Gold are on the same road of artists like Björk, Tori Amos and Kate Bush.
