Fur and Gold

Bat for Lashes

A gothic fairytale of harpsichords, tribal drums, and 60s pop echoes. Natasha Khan's debut is a ritualistic journey through moonlit forests and suburban myths.

It's like if Kate Bush went camping in a haunted forest and brought a harpsichord.

A shimmering, ritualistic mystery that finds the magical within the melancholic.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The 1960s girl-group drum beat of 'What's a Girl to Do?' clashing against a haunting, minor-key synth melody.
The ritualistic, chanting repetition of 'The Wizard' building into a thick, hypnotic atmosphere of midnight folklore.
The sparse, lonely harpsichord opening of 'Horse and I' that feels like waking up in a dark fairytale.
