Phil's already reviewed the Bat For Lashes album and said that 'Daniel' sounds like Fleetwood Mac so I've got nothing else to say about it really.. I fucking hate Fleetwood Mac but I don't particularly mind this and I quite like the album. Mercifully she's created a talking point by having a tattoo of The Karate Kid's Ralph Machhio on her back for the cover though, you can't tuss that shit. The B-side is a cover of a Cure song called 'A Forest' but I'm not a big enough fan of theirs to remember how the original goes so I can't make much of a comparison, it's quite nice though. God this review's been pointless.7" Single

With her dazzling second album, Two Suns, Bat For Lashes is set to assume the mantle of the most dynamic and intriguing pop performer in the UK right now.
Natasha Khan’s debut Fur And Gold was nominated for the 2007 Mercury Music Prize, and earned two Brit Award nominations for Best Breakthrough and Best Female in 2008. The album’s blend of spooky childhood reveries and magical piano balladry caught the imagination of everyone and not just in the music world. Natasha was feted by the fashion crowd, appearing everywhere from Vogue to Dazed & Confused and she recently collaborated with Alexander McQueen’s McQ label on several one-off pieces featured on the Two Suns artwork. As if that weren’t enough, Bat For Lashes has inspired the making of a fantasy film-musical based on the songs from Fur And Gold . Natasha went on to be chosen by The Guardian as one of 2007’s women of the year – the only musician to appear on their list that year. Bat for Lashes was also asked to support Radiohead on their European tour last summer at the band’s personal request, where she assembled a new live band to explore fresh musical forms, before heading out to New York and the Californian desert to write what has now become Two Suns.
