Why don't we have a thread on Bat for Lashes?

I really liked her debut and then got pretty much obsessed with Two Suns in 2009. Like, listening every day on my walk to class obsessed. I saw her live just before The Haunted Man came out (my first time hearing "Laura" and a bunch of new songs) and she is a great performer indeed, but I somehow lost interest afterward that one. I don't remember much about The Bride, it vaguely registered in my head as 'more of the same'? I don't think I've ever even listened to Lost Girls. Guess I should go back and check those two records out, I think I've had a long enough break and her vibe/aesthetic will feel exciting to my ears again, even if the newest stuff isn't radically different to the oldies.

Lost Girls likely to be more your thing than the Bride, which is more impressionistic (ie: yes it's less memorable, I like it a lot though)

Cool! I just scanned The Bride's tracklisting and the only two tracks I can vaguely recall are Close Encounters (which I must've put on some playlist back then) and Sunday Love (which was on the radio). I'll give Lost Girls a listen tomorrow and perhaps come back to The Bride later.

I haven't revisited Two Suns since it came out, but I really enjoyed it at the time. Her subsequent albums struck me as vaguely pleasant and little more. I should probably give them all another spin.

Lost Girls is heavily underrated at large

hmm turns out fur and gold is excellent, feel dumb for overlooking it for years

it's all underrated and it's so weird we don't have a thread for her.

. Had I been working in the 1960s or 70s I would have ridden a wave of avant garde work into the mainstream
