So what has given her such instant gratification and prestige? The opener, Horse And I, answers questions instantly. The first sounds you hear are haunting harpsichord notes ringing out- it's this nonstandard creativity that will become commonplace on the album, with strange instruments like old harpsichords and percussion sticks appearing everywhere. And suddenly the spooky theremin-esque synths come in and the vocals rise above it. The vocals, in fact, were sung with a 50 yard extention lead and a dark, rainy forest in the middle of the night. And the tone really reflects this. It's something at the same time immediately exciting and comfortable: it's adventurous, but pleasant. And so, from the first moment it is massively accessable and yet also overwhelmingly original.
Comparing Natasha Khan to anyone else is a difficult. The immediate artist that comes to mind is Bjork, but without the occasional absurdly experimental project that scares many people from the Icelandic songstress. But comparing her to the classical folk artists like Tori Amos or Kate Bush falls short, as well. Where they quickly bore or cease to interest in large doses, Bat For Lashes keeps interest throughout every moment of the 45 minute offering. And so she lands in a cool middle ground, like French artist Camille, being at the same time accessable, traditional and exceptionally listenable but also fresh, new and original.
Songs seem to break into 3 parts: there are the adventurous, melodic songs like Horse And I, mentioned earlier, as well as the grand finale I Saw A Light, which bring in a feel that is bigger than the song could ever achieve alone. But also, another common theme is of the almost trip-hop mysterious song which brings in almost Portishead-esque sensibilities, with off-key basslines, unnerving lyrics and ghostly reverbs, like Trophy or Sarah. Thirdly, the songs dispersed among these are the more personal, piano-lead, emotional tracks which sing of personal tragedies and stories, like Prescilla and Sad Eyes.
To answer the question at the start of this review, then, Bat For Lashes has achieved her almost scary rise to power in the indie community simply because she has perfected a large part of the folk genre: if Vienna Teng's direction for folk was a step out the door, then Fur And Gold is its ultimate direction. Amazingly memorable, spanning the entire range of music she could, Bat For Lashes represents everything the genre has tried to achieve. And she has succeeded with flare.
