"With all the things that I've said, I'm still haunted by you.
In every town, in every place, you're waiting"

Read More A friend of mine asked me to check out this errie music video for "What's a Girl To Do" by Bat for Lashes. My first thought was of how reminiscent it is of the film Donnie Darko…

BAT FOR LASHES
batforlashes.com
I've always thought Bat For Lashes' singer, Natasha Khan, was a fox, but wowser, check out the cover artwork for her upcoming new album, The Haunted Man. The photograph was taken by Ryan McGinley, known for his naturalistic imagery. I love the photo!
Anyway, hearing about her new album would only mean one thing: a new tour. I think I have seen Bat For Lashes every time they were in Minneapolis, and hopefully, Charlotte Hatherley will also be in the band.
Look for The Haunted Man on October 23rd, via Capitol Records. In the meantime, check out the video for "Laura," taken from the upcoming album.
Below are her confirmed UK dates:

ARIEL PINK'S HAUNTED GRAFFITI
facebook.com
Ariel Pink has been producing original music since 2000, and a few years ago, he's really started coming on my radar. Before I knew it, he went under a new band called Haunted Graffiti. For some reason, he changed the band's name to Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti. I think it's a dumb name, but there's probably a good reason for this. I can only speculate that he wants to continue to brand the name "Ariel Pink" or that "Haunted Graffiti" was already another band's name.
Anyway, their new album, Mature Themes, is coming out August 21st via 4AD. The song, "Only In My Dreams," was given to KCRW's Morning Becomes Electric and a free MP3 can now be downloaded from 4AD.com.
He will be out on tour:

LITTLE HURRICANE
littlehurricanemusic.com
Little Hurricane is a duo consisting of CC and Tone. They met on Craigslist and since then, the band's music has been described as "dirty blues."
Tone would protest that they're "more rock 'n' roll than the record." He's referring to their live shows, which includes homemade speakers and DIY attitude.
The band's single, "Haunted Heart," can be seen on their music video. If you like it, the song can be yours for free if you sign up for their mailing list on their website.
The little band is going on a big tour with Heartless Bastards (#) and Electric 6 (*). See below:

SHADOWBOX
shadowbox4u.net
Bonnie Baxter's stagename is ShadowBox, and her EP, "Haunted By Colors" EP can be heard streaming at The FADER. The EP came out today (July 24th) on Pictures Music.
Baxter, herself, explained that the title was "inspired by the vivid dreams I was having at the time where no dialogue was present, just these reoccurring images that would naggingly imprint themselves into my head. Also, the anxieties and fears of waking life."
Check out her song, "AM":
