No, this is not a new Animal Collective video, nor is it a clip from some perverse faux-sequel to Donnie Darko. Instead, it’s the newest videos from Bat For Lashes, aka Brighton-based (and very beautiful) singer-songwriter Natasha Khan. Often compared to the likes of The Knife, Bork, and Kate Bush, Khan and her amazing voice conjure up dark, moody tales of mysticism and romance. Her debut album, Fur and Gold, is one of the best of the year and was recently nominated for The Mercury Prize, (she lost out to the Klaxons??? Bullshit!)
