Bat For Lashes Fur & Gold Review
Bat For Lashes is an all femade band based out Brighton, England and fronted by singer Natasha Khan (Pakastani father with an English mother –very nice mix).
Bat For Lashes has a very good sound where Khan’s vocals are compared to Cat Power’s and Kate Bush’s to name a few.
This album “Fur & Gold” displays a lot of potential. However after listening to the past few weeks, I was unable to really grasp onto any other song then the single “What’s A Girl To Do?”.
This album has received some great critical praise so far, with an 81 on Metacritic and so far being called “critically acclaimed”. This album I can’t say is that. I feel like I am getting a headache through the constant change in style from song to song and I can’t listen to this album for a very long time.
It’s not terrible at all, some stuff is pretty good just not great at this point. I give it a 3.5 out of 5. I will look forward to more albums by them because I believe that they can release a potential super album with the variety of sounds they had and with Khan’s beautiful singing voice.
