The Profile

Bat for Lashes is the stage name of British singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Natasha Khan, active since 2006. Celebrated for art-pop and dream-pop albums including Fur and Gold, Two Suns, The Haunted Man, The Bride, Lost Girls, and The Dream of Delphi.

Tour support for Radiohead as noted in reviews; Scott Walker appears on “The Big Sleep” from Two Suns; Mercury Prize nominations for Fur and Gold and Two Suns; side project Sexwitch with TOY.

DeBaser’s handful of reviews paints Bat for Lashes as an imaginative, vocally distinctive project led by Natasha Khan. Debut Fur and Gold is praised as “a memorable debut,” while Two Suns earns acclaim for its personal, varied palette and standout tracks like Glass and Daniel. The Haunted Man is seen as a restrained, change-marking set, and The Bride as an intense concept album with strong storytelling and vocal peaks. References to Björk, Kate Bush, and Tori Amos recur throughout.
