NEW BAT FOR LASHES ALBUM
When we picked up the debut album Fur and Gold from British singer and multi-instrumentalist Natasha Khan AKA Bat For Lashes we were incredibly impressed at its intriguing take on the Cat Power chanteuse formula, with whispered vocals and ethereal instrumentation. However, with her new album Two Suns Bat For Lashes has outdone herself completely, combining dancey pop sensibilities with celestial, airy instrumentations and Khan’s trademark vocal stylings. This is definitely one of our favorite releases of the year so far, check it out below! Hope to hear more from Bat For Lashes soon – come visit us in Austin!
Bat For Lashes – “Glass”Bat For Lashes – “Sleep Alone”
As a bonus, check out one of our favorite videos from all time, Bat For Lashes’ “What’s A Girl To Do” and some bonus mp3s including “The Big Sleep”, the track Scott Walker guests on from Two Suns.

While I’ve seen next to nothing on the subject of Blink-182’s return to the studio on like-minded, indie-oriented blogs, let it be known that we here at Cannibal Cheerleader are infamous pop-punk apologists and couldn’t be more excited at the news of an upcoming release from this titanically talented trio. Far be it from us to say we weren’t raised on this band’s scorching anthems of teenage angst and juvenille deliquency (so sue us, we grew up in small town Texas), but the subversive aspects of a large stretch of the group’s later works, including their seminal self-titled final LP, serve as a testament to the intelligence and versatile songwriting skills behind the group’s simple melodies. Here’s what the band had to say on their website:
Sounds like exciting stuff – we expect to hear some new material by May guys! Leak it to us old time fans first, we’re not indier-than-thou yet!
Blink 182 – “Feeling This”

The Riverboat Gamblers have just uploaded a new song called “Victory Lap” to their Myspace. As you’re hopefully well aware the Austin-based punk legends are releasing their new album Underneath the Owl on March 10th, and it’s definitely the group’s most well-defined and intelligent work to date. Check out this live version of “Alexandria” and a few tracks from UTO and be sure and give “Victory Lap” a listen here.
