Bat For Lashes was another of those bands I somehow let lapse despite loving their debut album 'Fur and Gold', particularly 'What's a Girl to Do?', but I've just taken a listen to 'The Haunted Man' and you're right, there's some great stuff on it. 'Laura' is brilliant, and as you say makes a real companion piece to 'Video Games'.
Thanks again, but it is really time now for you to try my music themed novel, serialised (for free) at https://challenge69.substack.com - you'll love it!
I can't believe I've not heard of Natasha Khan's work. brilliant!
I’m so glad that you do now as she’s fantastic! If you dig this one, I highly recommend giving Lost Girls a listen too. Wonderful cinematic synth pop.
Thanks!
Bat for Lashes does have some echoes of Kate Bush... some parallels to an Australian band that I love, The Jezabels
Another great recommendation Kiley.
