Bat For Lashes – Sleep Alonem, Moon And MoonBat For Lashes – Sleep Alone/Moon And Moon

I can't stand this wailing tart. But finally, she's released something which you can listen to without wincing. I know arty girls love her. The kind who tie bits of rope around their heads then they go out, and draw hearts or tears under their eyes with eyeliner. But I'm not an arty girl.

/Sleep Alone/ is bearable, it's got a good rhythm, and even when she goes off on one of her falcetto wailing adventures it still remains quite tuneful and, yeah it's not bad at all.

But /Moon and Moon/ is just like all the other stuff. Same old, same old. Too slow, going for that strange mix of gentle vulnerable music with a dark edge, and a powerful lead vocal. It doesn't tickle my pickle. But this isn't all about me.

If you're a Bat For Lashes fan, you will like this. If you aren't, you might like /Sleep Alone/. And if you aren't sure, then this hasn't helped you at all. I don't know who it can help. I just don't like it.

2.5/5
