Bat for Lashes - Daniel (in a Forest)


Daniel is the first single released from Bat for Lashes (BfL) second album "Two suns".

BfL is currently touring Europe and during her show she preforms the song twice: first as a acoustic version (also dubbed low-Fi version which can be found on Stereogum) and a more jumpy version performed as an encore.

This last version is the one she played at Jools Holland April show. To a careful listener the rhythm base is clearly from the Cure's "a Forest".

On line Daniel has been mashed up (quite successfully) with a Forest (here)

BfL covered A Forest in Cure tribute album "Perfect as Cats" (released October 2008)

This cover can be found of the b-side of the 7" version of the single "Daniel" released end of April.

The song has been compared to Stevie Niks singing K. Bush "running up that hill", but at least to me the Forest connection appeals more...
