Bat For Lashes is up for an Ivor Novello, the highly regarded awards given out yearly for outstanding songwriters. She’s up for Best Contemporary Song for ‘Daniel’, which is a belter of a song. It’s going up against tracks by La Roux and Dizzee Rascal. The award shortlist follows her second Mercury Prize nomination and a Brit nomination as Best Female. Nick Hemming of The Leisure Society, a key member of Brighton’s Willkommen Collective, also scored a second nomination for ‘Save It For Someone Who Cares’ in the Best Song Musically and Lyrically category. Now she’s back in Brighton from touring South America with Coldplay Bat For Lashes is taking time out to write her next LP. ‘Two Suns’ is the most played album in the SOURCE office, so we’re very excited.
