What's a girl to do for love?

Bat for Lashes (Natasha Khan) is someone you're going to love. Watch her video, What's A Girl To Do?, and you'll see exactly why:



Right? HAC is always looking out for you, and for BMX riders sporting animal masks biking in a choreographed fashion to eerie-licious melodies. Khan totally won us over with this one and director Mattias Montero (a house favorite!) carried out the creepiness we all know we love but are sometimes hesitant to admit.

The video was found after realizing Montero directed Lykke Li's video for Little Bit. He again uses a continuous shot from start to finish with a desaturated and almost overexposed effect, as well as double timing, aka slow-mo vs. fast-mo. It definitely works in achieving great feeling and helping to express what each artist feels:



talk about emotions and inspiration! i draw both from these two.
