BAT FOR LASHES creates an intimate, cinematic world, reminiscent of the nocturnal wanderings of Kate Bush and the heartfelt prayers of Cat Power. Natasha composes songs that rise out of a dark, heartbreak wilderness and take you on a journey in to the light. Taking influence from 70’s film soundtracks, weather phenomena, childhood Halloween parties and a David Lynchian vision of suburbia, they occupy the tenebrous space between innocence and a loss of innocence and come straight from the storyteller’s heart.
“a neverending story of fantastic dreams and heartbreaking reality… the chapters unfold with a sense of wonder and slow, powerfully evoked drama… Bat For Lashes inhabit a magical kingdom you won’t want to leave” 5/5 The Guardian
“Bat For Lashes has clearly and equivocally her own voice… entrancing. One of the year’s most exciting debuts” Music Week
“reinvent Siouxsie/Kate Bush/Bjork mystical sex, musical travelogue and poetic dreamstate for the contemporary singer-songwriter milieu. The results are nothing short of breathtaking” 4/5 Observer Music Monthly
“a divinely phantasmagoric affair packed with elemental images both
beauteous and beastly… to listen to Bat For Lashes is to be pulled into some exotic otherworld – a place sometimes dark and disturbing, at others sweetly exultant. Expect magic” Time Out
