Some of you do not know them (her). Some of you found her when you learned that she was one of the favorite music sounds of Thom Yorke of Radiohead . Few knew her from the debut of the album the " Fur & Gold " in 2006. The name " Bat for Lashes " is essentially the nickname used by Natasha Khan . The 30-year Anglo-Pakistani studied music and visual arts. Her voice and music resembles that of mostly Bjork and Kate Bush and sometimes of Tori Amos . Essentially, we heard her with the super single from her first album " What's a girl to do? "(See the video of here ) and the tours of Radiohead and MIA where she was the opening act.
On 6 April the second album of Bat for Lashes will be released with the title " Two Suns " and from the end of last month the album was leaked in the Internet . The first single named " Daniel ", but I would say that it doesn't steal the show , although its quite nice. The album has its own special atmosphere, which you can say that it sometimes goes to the "feel" of Kate Bush , and sometimes to that of Bjork .
- the" Glass ", which opens the album and manages to immediately give you the feeling, the atmosphere of the album,
- the" Siren Song ", which lives up to its name, with special - unique melodies, dressed with the ethereal vocals of Khan,
- the " Sleep Alone ", which has catchy chorus, and probably is one of the subsequent singles from " Two Suns ".
