On her striking 2007 debut, FUR AND GOLD, British/Pakistani singer-songwriter Natasha Khan, aka Bat for Lashes, unveils a confident and eclectic set of indie-pop songs. Like a female counterpart to Irish wunderkind Patrick Wolf, Khan gilds her ... Full Descriptiontunes with lush, moody arrangements that heighten their drama and establish an ornate, goth-tinged atmosphere (see the urgent, harpsichord-led opening track, "Horse and I," and "What's a Girl to Do," a haunting tale of heartbreak). A fully formed first outing that garnered Khan a Mercury Prize nomination, FUR AND GOLD marks the arrival of a significant new U.K. talent, and will easily appeal to aficionados of emotive chamber-pop.

Fur And Gold CD music
$9.45  
A striking departure from Goldfrapp's well-received, cinematically atmospheric debut, FELT MOUNTAIN, 2003's BLACK CHERRY finds the British electronica duo cutting loose with a more energetic and dynamic set. The approach allows vocalist Alison Goldfrapp to indulge her inner Debbie Harry, while multi-instrumentalist Will Gregory playfully nods to 1980s synth-pop on saucy, percolating tunes such as "Crystalline Green" and "Train." Though many of BLACK CHERRY's tracks are geared toward the dance floor, particularly the glam-tinged "Strict Machine," the record still has relaxed moments, including the gorgeously swooning title track and the wonderfully dreamy "Deep Honey." Adding texture to the mix are top-notch auxiliary musicians, most notably Sparklehorse's Mark Linkous on synthesizer and Portishead's Adrian Utley on guitar and bass, resulting in a surprisingly layered album that truly works its magic with repeated listens. For those enamored of the group's club-friendly direction, Goldfrapp would proceed down a strobe-lit alley ...

Fur And Gold music CDs
$12.25
Favorably compared to the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, and Broken Social Scene, the Arcade Fire's sound seems to come from a lifetime of listening to the Cure, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, and many others--even a dose of soul gets worked into these grand anthems. Chassagne delivers some spellbinding vocals on "Haiti," while the tinkling piano and strings on "Crown of Love" conjure up a heartbroken surfside prom. In 2004, this made many critics' year-end lists, and it's no wonder--the songs on FUNERAL are so packed with unique instrumentation, mesmerizing build-ups, and galvanizing tempo changes that they seem culled from some enigmatic, decade-spanning rock anthology.
This Montreal ensemble's fiery debut is marked by surging guitars, soulful strings, driving drums, brilliant bass lines, and the quavering vocals of married couple Win Butler and Regine Chassagne. The group's song structures careen through a vast territory of musical and personal history, with lyrics warm with memories of childhood neighborhoods and deceased loved ...

Anyone looking for the warm, accessible techno of the Knife's "Heartbeats" (popularized by a Jose Gonzalez cover) won't find it on SILENT SHOUT. On this album, Swedish siblings Olof Dreijer and Karin Dreijer Andersson push their brand of vocal electronica to its creepiest limits, and achieve a result that is by turns lovely ...

$10.69 
Dan Snaith's project, Caribou, has always displayed a great reverence for the splashy opulence of '60s psychedelic-pop. If earlier albums, UP IN FLAMES and MILK OF HUMAN KINDNESS, borrowed liberally from his influences--sounding much like a panoply of carefully crafted snippets from the most blissed-out moments of pop music's past 30 years--ANDORRA polishes out the rough edges to reveal actual songs. Despite the newfound emphasis on songwriting cohesion, the album revels in deep layers of textural embellishment. ...

Fur And Gold music CDs
$22.35
Since relocating from New Zealand to Australia a couple of years back Batrider have incited a long list of words describing a furious, contrary and slightly bitter group of misanthropes screaming and beating their way around the country. Batrider release their debut Australian album 'TARA', ten smouldering tracks that are equal measures of melancholy, fury and disappointed with the world. However, there are tones and colours in the melodies and songwriting more evident here than ever before, maybe even a smirking sense of optimism. And 'TARA' does not arrive alone. The first 500 copies of the album turn up holding hands with 'PINK GUITARS, YELLOW STARS', a delicate and entrancing acoustic mini-album, containing ...
