History Music / BatForLashes

* FemmeFatale: Pearl, as mentioned above. Explored in "Siren Song", in which she laments the fact that she will inevitably destroy the man she loves.

* IntercourseWithYou: "Close Encounters", apparently.
* OneWomanSong: Unusually for a female singer, she has a number of these: "Prescilla", "Sarah", "Laura", "Marilyn", and "Jasmine". "Daniel" is a gender-flipped example.

* OneWomanSong: Unusually for a female singer, she has a number of these: "Prescilla", "Sarah", "Laura", "Marilyn". "Daniel" is a gender-flipped example.

* TriangRelations: The song "Prescilla", which features the heroine, Karen, who loves an unnamed man...but the man loves Prescilla.

** ''Two Suns'': On track one, "Glass"
* AwesomeMcCoolName: Both of her names.

* OneWomanSong: Unusually for a female singer, she has a number of these: "Prescilla", "Sarah", "Laura", "Marilyn". "Daniel" is a genderflipped example.
* ShoutOut: The song "Daniel" is named after the hero from ''Film/TheKarateKid''. The music video contains references to the film, most notably the appearance of a Daniel look-alike at the end, and the cover of the single depicts Khan with an image of the character painted on her back.

* ''Fur and Gold'' (2006)

Bat for Lashes is [[IAmTheBand not a band]], but the stage name of Natasha Khan, a critically praised English musician of Pakistani descent. She plays multiple instruments including the piano, the harpsichord and the autoharp. She also has a background in the visual arts, which shows in her elaborate shamanic costumes and sets. Her work has been described as "mystical indie pop", with its lush, ethereal soundscapes and lyrics that are, uh, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment mystical]]. Her first album, ''Fur and Gold'', was more earthy and insular in its instrumentation and her second album, ''Two Suns'', features more electronic influences. Her third album, " The Haunted Man" shows a significantly altered, more minimalistic and arguably mature style that earned her very good ratings.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: In "Siren Song" when the song builds up.
** "Prescilla".

* NightmareFuel: The ''DonnieDarko''-esque music video to "What's A Girl To Do?".

* TearJerker: Natasha's music has alternately been described as 'sad music made by a sad girl.'
** Case in point: "Sad Eyes". An incredibly appropriate title.

* BerserkButton: Do '''''not''''' compare her to ToriAmos.
