Bat For Lashes 'Siren Song' @ De La Warr Pavilion 19 Feb 2010

'Siren Song' is perhaps the dark beating heart pulsing through BFL's 'Two Suns' album, though it is only one of several songs there which seem to embody Natasha's alter ego persona (or "art project" as I think Natasha prefers) of the character Pearl. Another opportunity for fab new BFL touring band drummer Valentina to sing along with Natasha & Charlotte here.

Just before the start of this film clip someone shouted "We love you Charlotte!" following Charlotte Hatherley's keyboard duet with Natasha in 'Horse and I', hence my name-check at the start. Incidentally, last Nov I was lucky enough to catch Charlotte's Winchester leg of her solo tour, mainly showcasing her excellent third (post Ash) album 'New Worlds'. God knows how she managed to tour her own and BFL's gigs around the same time! Though perhaps sharing some of the alternative indie terrain one might broadly associate with at least some of BFL's material, Charlotte's is often a somewhat rockier/punkier sound world, by turns wonderfully lyrical and refreshingly quirky (both being qualities attributable to BFL in her own way of course: another queen of quirk).

@evanescencehimlove I agree wholeheartedly! :) Such a gripping evocative song..

In my opinion the most emotional song by Bat For Lashes and indeed, perhaps the "dark beating heart" pulsing through the album.
