Dynamic Range Radio Presents: YouTube Video Of The Year - Bat For Lashes

Dynamic Range Radio, your eclectic alternative, offers up its choice for the finest video of the year, What's A Girl To Do by Bat For Lashes.



I've been working on a Best Of 2007 feature, and when I tried to put together a list of the best videos I was having trouble coming up with five measly candidates. So I decided to cut my losses and honor Bat For Lashes for the only video that really caught my eye this year.

The lead singer, Natasha Khan, looks a lot like Lily Allen without the snotty attitude, and the video has a nice spooky quality which suits the song very well, and offers some unexpected twists along the way.

The staff here at Dynamic Range Radio (ie. me) doesn't pay much attention to videos anymore, so there may have been lots of great ones we missed. Feel free to point out any we may have overlooked.

Any stay tuned for the Best Of 2007 feature, coming sometime between now and the new year.
