Fur and Gold by Bat for Lashes

Eerie, dark, mysterious — these are just a few ways to describe Fur and Gold ($12), the debut album from Natasha Khan, the one-woman band otherwise known as Bat for Lashes. Complex, restrained, and always interesting, Khan's atmospheric arrangements and haunting lyrics mix into a mesmerizing soundscape unlike anything we've heard recently. Standout Tracks: "Horse & I," "Sad Eyes," "I'm On Fire."
