8hands Featured Video: What's A Girl To Do by Bat For Lashes
I'm not really into spooky music. I want music to calm me down, make me think or turn me into an energetic being. I don't want music to scare the living shit out of me.
I've just heard Bat for Lashes' debut album for the first time. I can't say that I like it very much. The music is way too dramatic for me, and the lead singer, Natasha Khan, sounds a bit archaic – not in a cool retro way, but in "you need to realize that trip-hop is dead" way.

Bat for Lashes' music maybe isn't my cup of tea, but the video they did for their latest single "What's A Girl To Do" is magnificent. It really is. Maybe it's got something to do with the fact that "What's A Girl To Do" is my favorite track from the album – but I think there is more to that.
The band's dark atmosphere is perfect for a video, and the director makes the best of it – from putting the beautiful Khan at the front and all the way to the so special ideas that you have to see in order to understand – it's a video you shouldn't miss. Enjoy.
