Bat For Lashes Channels Her Inner Teen Wolf on Letterman
I first caught wind of Natasha Khan AKA Bat For Lashes when I heard the plaid skirt remix of Whats A Girl To Do in the fall of 2006. I dug the track so much at the time that my good friend Derek Moore played it on his Indie Blog Heaven show that airs on Sunday nights from 7 pm to 8 pm on KWOD 106.5 in Sacramento, CA. I was not aware that the band had dropped a new album but was blown away last night when they popped up on David Letterman playing their new single Daniel. Natasha was channeling her inner teen wolf by sporting a intense hair shirt/necklace accessory. This track just made me want to jump off the couch and groove hard like it was 1987 needless to say I picked up the album Two Suns today and have been stuck on this great nugget of a song all day. This track seems to have late 80′s overtones and it did not suprise me to learn that she did a cover of A Forest on Manimal Vinyl’s Cure tribute record Perfect As Cats as you can hear the influence on this song. Enjoy the live version of Daniel from Letterman last night.
