Meanwhile ‘Sun’ is a pretty, delicate song with chiming guitars that Bat For Lashes wouldn’t have kicked off any of her albums.Īcross the rest of the five-tracker they remain very difficult to pin down – neither a guitar band nor an electronic outfit. ‘Mountains’ is an off-the-wall r’n’b song that could have drums by DJ Shadow and guitars by Arab Strap, which makes it, of course, one of the most brilliant things to come out this year. Meanwhile their ‘What Starts With A U, Ends With An I’ EP, released on Love Thy Neighbour, is a joy. Like their music it’s high tech and lo-fi at the same time. Live they have a strange drummer-less set up, messing with a whole range of electronic instruments while a wall of umbrellas magically displays images behind them.

Over the last year they’ve come on in leaps and bounds, both on stage and in their recordings. For their debut EP launch they completely packed out the Green Door Store, and it’s easy to see why they’ve attracted such a following. Recently we went to see them play and so did a lot of other people. They’re also fun, friendly and rather charming. But while doing that they manage to be so creative, from making their own artwork and videos to programming their own website. For a start they make great music – beautiful, melancholic sounds that refuse to sit in any easy pigeonholes. There are a lot of parallels between Us Baby Bear Bones and Brighton and they sum up a lot of what it is that we still love about our shared hometown. While really stopping and staring at our city in assessing it for our State Of Brighton issue we’ve decide that actually we like it here at the moment, despite everything.
