yea, bat for lashes isnt a group but a pin name for natasha kahn. She's also been around for a while; my favorite songs from her have to be whats a girl to do, and trophy.
I randomly watched David Letterman and She happened to be on. I was moved by her haunting and heartfelt vocals. I've done some research on her and she can count me as one of her fans. Here is the performance on Letterman:
She was nominated on her last album for a Mercury Award, basically the UK 'High Brow CD of 'the Year. That week she performed live on Radio 1, playing her song 'Priscilla' and possibly the only good live cover of 'Sweet Dreams' in years.
Bend me, break me, anyway you need me
as long as I want you baby, it's alright.
