Bat For Lashes covers The Cure :: "A Forest"
The layers of ambiance and the ineffable cool of the originals always make Cure songs a particularly sticky wicket to cover. That's not stopping a bunch of folks including Bat For Lashes, The Muslims, Kaki King and The Dandy Warhols from trying their hand at it. This track is breathy, darkly shining, and atmospherically lovely.A Forest (Cure cover) - Bat For Lashes
Perfect as Cats: A Tribute To The Cure is out on Manimal Vinyl on October 28th. Sales will raise money for the worthy Invisible Children campaign.And yep, since you asked -- pretty sure that's one of the worst album covers this year. What's goin on there?
Labels: bat for lashes, covers, dandy warhols, the cure, the muslims
