Bat For Lashes - Fur and Gold

Wow. You had me at hello. This deliciously dark release evokes everyone I love, from Bjork to Denali to Siouxsie. My favorite tracks are Trophy, a reminder of the best goth of the 80s, and Sarah, which is just plain twisted. I sincerely hope to see future releases by this artist. I also like Sad Eyes, and What’s a Girl to Do? Dark, subdued, 80s-influenced, smart, and modern.
