Bat for Lashes

The project of Natasha Khan, Bat for Lashes ponders life, death, and love with mythic storytelling and equally ambitious sounds. While the mystical indie-rock of her Mercury Prize-nominated 2006 debut album Fur and Gold drew comparisons to Kate Bush and Björk, the singer/songwriter and multimedia artist fully established herself as a creative force with the cosmic art-pop of 2009's Two Suns, a grand showcase for the scope of her ideas and her ethereal yet powerful voice. Though she took a more restrained approach on 2012's direct The Haunted Man, it was packed with as much sensuality and cinematic drama as 2016's The Bride and 2019's Lost Girls. On 2024's The Dream of Delphi, Khan paired some of her most experimental music with themes -- motherhood, creation, femininity -- that hit close to home.
