Bat For Lashes
Fur and Gold (Echo ECHCD72)
Despite her Bjork-like tendency to deliver the unexpected, singer- songwriter Natasha Khan - aka Bat For Lashes - has clearly and unequivocally her own voice. The effect of the dreamlike instrumentation and Khan's haunting vocal is entrancing. Slight piano melodies, harpsichords and marching beats provide the backdrop to Khan's fairytale-like lyrics, conjuring up a kaleidoscopic imagery. One of the year's most exciting debuts.
Liam Frost
Show Me How The Spectres Dance (Lavolta LAVOLTA007)
At a time in which UK singer-songwriters are starting to grate among some audiences through their sheer ubiquity, 22-year-old Liam Frost arrives to pull the genre into more interesting and edgy directions. This superb debut combines earthly lyrical concerns with an utterly other-worldy imagination and it is at once both tragic and comic. A vital new voice has emerged.
