Bat For Lashes - Fur & Gold
wowowo ! First, you have to see the video for the song "What's A Girl To Do" it's amazing (you'll notice the beat is a sample of an old song from Dirty Dancing of course....) Then, you have to know that behind Bat For Lashes, there's an artist Natasha Khan, she plays every instruments, composes & sings. What I like into Bat For Lashes is that she took influences from years of musics...Now, to describe her kind of music, it's really hard... Because it's not a music that you can put in a box, but let's try : AlternativeFolkAerialPianoSlowPop ? Yeah... that's a good one ! The 3 words that comes for this album are... Pure, Aerial &... Good

For me, her most important inspirations are : Serge Gainsbourg into the female vocal really pure and soft like he did a lot with Jane Birkin or her daughter Charlotte too... also into instrumentals. Then, you can also hear some Björk, Feist, Daughter Darling, Kate Bush & Air's styles, into it too ! And this is an AMAZING STUFF ! Do you imagine ? An artist that is inspired by Gainsbourg, Bjork, Air ?

This is a brillantine for me of course... Because : - I post it, - you have everything you want in an album... cool songs & sad songs, -this is a real artist that does everything and only that deserve to be in the brillantine :)
