Bat For Lashes is bringing her heart-wrenching synthpop to the Regency Ballroom, and we have a pair of free tickets up for grabs.

• Bat for Lashes - Laura

Bat For Lashes' Laura was a deeply gorgeous, haunting chamber-pop ballad, the kind that doesn't need any enhancing. Nevertheless, San-Francisco-based electronic outfit Bachelors Of Science tried to put their own twist, resulting in a beautiful downtempo reading. They pair the track with '90s trip-hop beats and buzzsaw synths, but keep the original piano melodies in the mix. This is going straight to my late night playlist! Well done guys.

"With each album, I go through a really kind of terrifying period before I know what form it's gonna take so I feel like I'm just in a void." That's Natasha Khan discussing the lead up to The Haunted Man , which gave us one of last year's best singles in "Laura," a requiem for a faded party girl who's not keen on giving up her table dancing days. The album version was pretty sparse; for this SiriusXMU Session, Natasha performs with only Ben Christophers' piano accompaniment, and it's quite lovely. Watch below. Read More... [...]

Bat for Lashes Releases a Dark Music Video for ‘A Wall’, is this the Return of Pearl? I’m digging this new version of the song too, what do you think of it?

If you're the sort to unthinkingly subscribe to any old adage, you'll most likely deem it better to burn out than to fade away . On today of all days, with the fetid news of Paul McCartney purportedly all set to front Nirvana already stagnating far and wide throughout the internet, the Neil Young lyric immortalised forevermore and made all the more infamous by its inclusion in Kurt Cobain's suicide note couldn't resound with a greater sense of ruination. Well Brighton's supremo janglists The Popguns , conversely, really waned once upon a time, thereby [...]

Bat For Lashes' third album, The Haunted Man, is quite different from her previous releases. The tribal drums and dark drama that first brought our attention to Natasha Khan's alter ego have been replaced with atmospheric electronics and somber melodies. Even Natasha's voice sounds different, at times straining to reach an angelic soprano level when [...]

Check out Natasha Kahn aka Bat For Lashes in an appropriately intimate performance on Later With Jools Holland of "Laura," standout from her recent and excellent new album, The Haunted Man . Check the video below.

A cantora Natasha Khan , mais conhecida como Bat For Lashes , foi a atração musical da edição de ontem do Later... with Jools Holland, famoso programa da rede britânica BBC. Divulgando o seu terceiro e mais recente álbum, The Haunted Man , lançado em outubro, a inglesa tocou Laura , primeiro single do disco. Você pode conferir a apresentação abaixo.

What's in a name? Well, everything and nothing all at once, really. And Natasha Khan's long since established pen name, Bat For Lashes , is one I've always found myself helplessly fascinated, if never fully convinced by. The evolution of Khan from lowly South Coast odds, sods and trinkets boutique proprietor to kooky serial Mercury Prize nominee, via half-baked alter egos and smashing hit singles has set her on an abnormal trajectory toward the apices of pop, although elements of the eccentric remain intrinsic to her every manoeuvre. She's remained true to her schooling in the spectral enlightening of [...]

It's no secret that the first two studio albums from Bat For Lashes, Fur and Gold and Two Suns , enjoyed plenteous universal acclaim. Some critics have seemed a bit disappointed with Bat For Lashes most recent and third album The Haunted Man , yet there are many bright spots on the release. Focusing more pointed attention on her vocals, and backing off beats and bass lines, Natasha Khan gives a beautiful performance, and particularly on the album's opening track "Lilies". Natasha's voice soars over the mystical rhythmic layers and steady drum beats throughout [...]

Expectations can be a crippling obstacle for a musician. Whether by the quality of previous records, word-of-mouth enthusiasm, or just general interest, a new album can buckle under what an audience wanted rather than what it received. Bat For Lashes has been a fantastic act for two full-length records, including 2009’s near-masterpiece Two Suns . Critical acclaim, well-received live shows, and rabid fandom have all boosted the profile of Natasha Khan’s project. Therefore, it holds true that expectations for her third album, [...]

The Haunted Man will see daylight in America on October 22nd but you can get an early listen to the incredible new project from Natasha Khan now. Courtesy of NPR. Previous:   25 Best Bat For Lashes Pictures

Nude, untouched and shot in black and white, the cover art for 'The Haunted Man' presents a striking image for the return of Bat For Lashes. What's most striking though is not the nudity, but the contrast between the fantastical imagery of her previous albums and the raw nakedness on display here. Beneath the costumes and the make-up, this is the real Natasha Khan - but does the music match? What's always been most interesting about Bat For Lashes' output is her creativity in instrumentation. Her mix [...]

I've endured something of a love/ lukewarm rapport with Andrew Butler's Hercules and Love Affair , although after a superbly flamboyant showing beneath the taut canvases of the Priceless London Wonderground a couple months back , I'm swinging back toward the former. And this rework of Bat For Lashes' current one, All Your Gold, only jacks up the doting. This Is My Love, to cite the smutty low fidelity house of the début, and it's utterly smooth. Disco deeper than most pizza pans down around Manhattan's Lower East, it's a pretty radical restructuring of what was [...]
