Bat for Lashes is the work of British singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist & visual artist Natasha Khan.
Natasha Khan was born in Hertfordshire, England on 25 October 1979 and currently resides in Brighton, England. Khan graduated in music and visual arts; while at university her experimental work was influenced by artists such as Steve Reich and Susan Hiller, and she produced multi-media work centred on sound installations, animations and performance. She went on to work as a nursery school teacher, and it was during this period that she began writing the material for her first album. “Whenever I’m writing music it’s a very visual place in my mind,” said Khan. “It has a location full of characters and colours and landscapes, so those two things really complement each other, and they help the other one to blossom and support the other. They are like brother and sister.”
Her debut single, “
The Wizard,” was released digitally through Drowned in Sound records and on seven-inch vinyl through Khan’s own imprint, She Bear Records. She then signed to the record label Echo, alongside Feeder and former Moloko singer Róisín Murphy, and released her debut album, Fur And Gold, on 11 September 2006. In 2007, Bat for Lashes parted company with Echo and signed to Parlophone records. Fur and Gold was re-released with the addition of bonus material. A limited vinyl version was released by Los Angeles indie label, Manimal Vinyl in May 2007.

There's something about Two Suns, I can't define it but she really manages to drag you inside those songs. When it was about to finish I really felt putting it into repeat, something exceptionally rare for me. I only won't do it because I'm too sleepy already. But damn, I wouldn't mind at all having this on as I sink into unconsciousness...........
