Thom Yorke’s an avowed fan of Natasha’s, placing “Horse And I” on his iTunes Playlist with the note “Natsha Khan of Bat For Lashes ain’t scared” at a time when she was still trying to convince people Fur & Gold was more than the art-damaged, new age Kate Bush retread it was pegged. And that led to her opening for the Atoms For Peace side-project called Radiohead. Consider this returning the favour. Bat For Lashes are opening for Coldplay in South America this month and next; this rendition of “All I Need” — along with takes on the Cure’s “Lullabye” and Peter Gabriel’s “Solsbury Hill — comes from Friday night’s warm-up show at the De La Warr Pavilion in England’s Bexhill-on-Sea. The progression remains the same, the “Roygbiv” electronic sonics swapped for a string quartet. And as far as vocalists trying to take on Thom, dude already noted all that need be.

Listen, Natasha Khan, just accept my marriage proposals already, k?
She already has Thom.
Her and Annie Clark, right? : ]
Natasha sounded great but I’m questioning the orchestra….could have been much better
i wanna see a proper recording of this. and that orchestra doesn’t sound too great. they aren’t really following her.
She is absolutely exquisite. The type of artist that constantly reminds you of their talent.
Good version. She is one of my new favs. But I found a version of “All I Need” by Phil Roy which completely blew me away. http://www.philroy.com/music.php
Great version.
Also, I didn’t know that Atoms for Peace had a side project.
That was a lot of awesome.
amazing cover. I’ve been playing this video allll day! BTW, best cover of a radiohead song is definitely cee-lo reckoner
