Alright, so I’ll fully admit that this edition of Twisted Music Video Of The Week is partly to promote our Bat For Lashes contest we have going on. But that doesn’t change the fact that the video for “Daniel” is dark, atmospheric, eerie, and those people dressed in black move like the nurses from Silent Hill (totally going to see the new movie later tonight). It’s also a beautiful song, one that I have to leave on once it starts. Check out the video below and, as always, leave a comment with your suggestion for next week’s video!

“Daniel” comes off of Two Suns (iTunes). READ MORE

It was in 2009 that I got hooked into Bat For Lashes’ sophomore album Two Suns. Something about the haunting, ethereal songs touched me and I was unable to stop listening to the album for a good few weeks. I still come back to it on occasion, playing the album from beginning to end without skipping a single track. But there came a point where I realized that, for as much as I loved those songs, I wanted something new, a new journey to undertake.

So when I heard that a new album was on the way, I was immediately intrigued and full of anticipation. After all, Bat For Lashes puts out a style of music that I don’t really hear anywhere else, so it’s like getting a breath of fresh air, a new playground in which to have fun. And so I entered into The Haunted Man with somewhat baited breath, wondering if it could match what I had wanted for the past year. READ MORE
