Love that darkling, glam vibe put forth by Bat for Lashes' leading light Natasha Khan - a techno-dappled chanteuse/poetess for the 21st century in the spirit of Tori Amos, Siouxsie Sioux, and Björk. It's all there in the second Bat for Lashes album Two Suns, which was unleashed (unLashed?) in Khan's native U.K. on April 6 of this year.Two Suns may be a bit more on the folk-rock side than Khan's..

  Use Somebody

Natasha Khan's cover of Kings of Leon's recent 'Use Somebody'.I love the organ in the background, and the tambourine. It is reminiscent of the Doors, and gives the song a more timeless, stripped down feel - which also adds to the plea of loneliness that the lyrics provide.Where the original soars as a post-modern power ballad, Khan's cover brings it closer, more intimate, and raw.I love both ve...

Today would be a perfect Sunday if it were not only Saturday.A new Cure tribute album has been released to benefit The Invisible Children Fund: "Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they don't hurt."(I added that quote. I know, I'm cruel)Here's the track listing:C...

  Use Somebody

A friend just put me onto Bats For Lashes, reminds me of Mia Doi Todd quite a bit. Then I found this cover of "Use Somebody", I have really been digging on the original lately, and thought I would share.

  The Wizard

Last weekend I had a visit to my lovely city from "Zeroskilz":http://mog.com/Zeroskilz. We hit the town *HARD*, and so for our last hurrah on Sunday, we shifted down to a low gear for Bat for Lashes.Opening was Chris Chavez. This guy was an amazing one-man-band. He was rather earnst and spirital for me (he did lots of the praying hands/bowing thing) but he had a Kings of Leon bluesy sound to...

  I'm on Fire

Natasha Khan's cover of Bruce Springsteen's I'm on Fire is simply lovely. I do believe I feel a new crush coming on.

  Kangaroo

Natasha's take on Big Star's Kangaroo just about equals my favorite Jeff Buckley's version. She's a siren who's stirring something wicked inside of me. I'm lovin her covers!

From June 15 2009, the incredible Natasha Khan aka Bat for Lashes performs *7 SONGS* from 'Two Suns' and an interview too. It also has a complete version of 'Moon and Moon' which was cut short on transmission due to time restrictions. Enjoy...I sure did.
