Bat for Lashes

This Brighton, UK-based outfit unleash a dark and magical potion of folk, fantasy and an assortment of intense emotions. Led by the lush, gorgeous voice of Natasha Khan, a wondrous fusion of Björk, Kate Bush and Chan Marshall, "The Wizard” is beautiful and haunting enough to soundtrack both dreams and nightmares. Devendra Banhart’s a fan, but this is much more primordial and spellbinding. This could raise goth from its deep, forgotten crypt. (batforlashes.co.uk/audio.html)
