Brighton's Natasha Khan - aka Bat For Lashes - is the latest charismatic lady lumbered with a Kate Bush comparison.
She dresses as an ancient priestess and sings songs that are dense with spooky imagery and unusual instrumentation.
Her hypnotic debut album, Fur and Gold, has a tense beauty that richly rewards time spent in its company, as the sparse, rhythmic backdrops of tracks such as Trophy and Prescilla cast a heady spell.
The wild imaginings of Joanna Newsom may have garnered most of the recent critical praise, but if she's the only enigmatic woman to have seduced you in the past few months, it's well worth making room for another. (020 7344 4444)
