Bat For Lashes

About Bat For Lashes

Following an immense Glastonbury show in 2009, an epic Somerset House performance (not just musically but meteorologically) and a packed-out headline set at Latitude, a full UK tour has been announced for October with two nights at the Roundhouse in London. Khan continues to delight audiences and critics alike with her magical live shows, with Johnny Depp being the latest in a long line of high profile fans proclaiming Two Suns to be a “masterpiece” when interviewed on Radio 1 recently.

‘Sleep Alone’, the third single to be taken from the acclaimed album Two Suns, combines a nagging acoustic riff with dark disco beats, fluttering strings and Natasha’s spooked falsetto vocal; “My mama told me / the dream of love is a two-hearted dream”.

The second track is the slower paced ‘Moon & Moon’. Beautifully recorded, the simple, lush piano melody paired with Natasha’s silky vocal yearning over long distance love and the pain of separation is a startling reminder of her effortless knack for straight-to-the-heart songwriting.

The digital release also includes a remix of ‘Sleep Alone’ by the hotly tipped Swedish electronic wizards (and producers of the new Fever Ray album) Van Rivers & The Subliminal Kid, as well as two stunning radio session tracks recorded live from Sirus Satellite Radio in New York.
