Bat For Lashes — A Forest (The Cure cover)
Covering The Cure is a tall order but Bat For Lashes has stepped up the plate and succeeded nobly here. Her voice is ethereal— it feels like it just floats there and the music is this classical meets space age. This song is included on Perfect As Cats, a Cure tribute album, which also includes the likes of The Dandy Warhols and Lewis & Clarke, which comes out in October (available for pre-order now) and benefits Invisible Children. Listen to more at the album’s myspace.

A great cause to be sure… but couldn’t they find cover art that didn’t look like a five y/o discovering MSPaint?
