Pearson (background vocals). On her striking 2007 debut, FUR AND GOLD, British/Pakistani singer-songwriter Natasha Khan, aka Bat for Lashes, unveils a confident and eclectic set of indie-pop songs. Like a female counterpart to Irish wunderkind Patrick Wolf, Khan gilds her tunes with lush, moody arrangements that heighten their drama and establish an ornate, goth-tinged atmosphere (see the urgent, harpsichord-led opening track, "Horse and I," and "What's a Girl to Do," a haunting tale of heartbreak). A fully formed first outing that garnered Khan a Mercury Prize nomination, FUR AND GOLD marks the arrival of a significant new U.K. talent, and will easily appeal to aficionados of emotive chamber-pop.
