Lashes

Kathryn E Martin - Some Things Are Perfect Where They Are (2006)

Bat for Lashes wears flaws with pride in ways that mature our very mechanisms of appreciation. It teaches a needed lesson without PowerPoint or logic models that the challengingly beautiful yields correspondingly rich rewards. This untangleable vocal mixture of Bjork, Arcade Fire, Joni Mitchel, Tori Amos, and PJ Harvey is one of those rewards. Together, the songs create the score for drinking whiskey in the back of an Indian film, somehow heightening the ability to feel the immediacy in subtitled poetry.
