6. Bat For Lashes - Whats A Girl To Do?
English musician Natasha Khan, as her alter ego Bat for Lashes, has released a varied and respectable body of work since emerging on the British music scene in 2006, dipping into many genres and styles over her 3 studio albums, but its this cut from her first album, Fur and Gold, that stands out. Although the lyrics tell a tall of waning interest toward her lover, the music itself builds to create a tense and surreal feeling in the listener. Its creeping repetitive chimes and echoing drum blasts, with Khan's hushed vocals flowing over them will provide a high brow and contemporary twist to your spooky playlist.
