Bat for Lashes

What's that intoxicating aroma lingering in the air? It's pleasurable scent makes you want to drive a car with flaming wheels, drop into a bar and have sex with a hot stranger. It makes you want to seem . . . dangerous.

At least, that's the image planted in our heads when watching the new ad for Gucci Guilty for Him, which in its campaign has spurned something of value to us music-lovers: a cover of Depeche Mode's "Strangelove" by Bat for Lashes. You can hear the track above and snag for keeps below.

Though this video features Friendly Fires for it's musical motif, you can get an idea of what the Bats for Lashes version of this ad campaign might look like:
