Bat For Lashes


This British alt-rock singer disables the Youtube embeds, but you might sample her song Daniel there anyway. It's what you'd get if Grace Slick enslaved Mummenshanz. Another song, "What's a Girl To Do?" is uh, Beatrix Potter on acid.

"Daniel" is actually a pretty good song, although the video is way too weird for me.

Beatrix Potter on acid is a pretty apt description of the other...

She also has a lovely cover of Kings Of Leon's "Use Somebody," which I have a feeling is gonna be one of those "everybody covers it for two years" songs. I will bet 100 dollars, right now, that it gets performed at least twice on American Idol this season.

I've always loved the "What's a Girl To Do" video - the moment where the bikers come out from behind the singer's just so great.

Hey, I've actually heard of Kings of Leon! Kyle must be having an effect.
