Bat For Lashes

January 28, 2008

“He is singing in her bat’s mouth / He is shaking and dancing…” – so sings Natasha Khan on Fur & Gold. What better way to see in Samhain than losing yourself in the tenebrous, atmospheric world of a Bat For Lashes show. According to Thom Yorke “her songs come from the world of Grimm’s fairytales.” The all-female outfit have come a long way since their first big London gig supporting CocoRosie in 2005 at the Scala – the album was nominated for the 2007 Mercury Prize. Having returned from a successful US tour, their gigs won’t be the best kept secrets of old so best head down to Flèche d’Or before it’s too late. They’re likely to be a different kind of show involving guest musicians and visuals so prepare for “a special, theatrical evening” says Natasha. Like a bat out of hell, she’ll be gone before the morning comes.
