Fur and Gold is the 2006 debut studio album by Folktronica singer Bat for
Lashes (real name Natasha Khan), a Pakistani British singer, songwriter,
and multi-instrumentalist. It is a melodious, moving, and at times
experimental Art Pop gem. There are obvious influences (Kate Bush, Tori
Amos, Siouxie), but there is also some foreshadowing of later artists
like Lana del Rey and Agnes Obel. There is not a weak song on the album,
but even better than the other songs for me are Horse And I, Tahiti,
Sad Eyes, Prescilla, Seal Jubilee, and I Saw A Light.
