A Hammer Horror film is playing and Peter Cushing is about to boil some poor, sweaty peasant into broth while a seductive maiden provides the hypnotic harpsichord soundtrack to his imminent demise. Natasha Khan’s third single from Fur And Gold, 'What’s a Girl to Do' inhabits a world where The Ronettes snogged vampires and paid the inevitable price.
Tongue wedged in cheek, this is sung like some dark tale told in an 18th century village-on-the-moor as a girl breaks up with a past love. At the poptastic length of just under 3 minutes, What’s a girl to do is Khan exhibiting a masterful sense for the absurd drama of fairy tales. Dreamy, quirky - it would have soundtracked Donnie Darko if it had been made in 2007. Play this at sundown as the night really gets black and see if you still remain convinced that Dracula doesn’t exist. This is a one woman crusade for reviving the gothic movement. It’s ace.
Released 09/07/07 on Parlophone Records
