I’m on a female singer kick today that doesn’t look as though it will be stopped anytime soon. In fact, Via Tania seems to be of a similar vein to Bat For Lashes, so maybe I’m more specifically on an ethereal female singer kick. She even seems to dress like her, at least in the [...]

Gorgeous video for a gorgeous song. I wasn’t what you’d call ‘super into’ Bat For Lashes first album. It was good, I liked it and certainly listened to it, but I suppose I filed it under Q for Quirky and never really expected much more from Natasha Kahn. Or if I did expect something, I [...]

Boy, coming down off of a very creative/inspirational streak can be a real bummer.

At the time I honestly wondered if everyone had been visited personally and handed a copy. But hey, they were all playing it for good reason, really, as it [...]
