Bat For Lashes - Fur And Gold (2007)

I know this has been posted all over the place, but I'm sorry: this girl, Natasha Khan, is something special, and for that I feel she deserves more plugging. Supposedly this record was inspired by a dream she had, which wouldn't surprise me as it has a really soft, lunar feel to it. The hand claps and the bare bass drumming, along with her very pretty, lullaby voice, do their part to create the half-spooky, half-dreamy atmosphere on this near-perfect album; while there are a few tracks that stand out from the others, mostly because they're catchy without being artistically faint, Fur And Gold is best absorbed in its entirety.
