The Dream of Delphi

Bat for Lashes

A shimmering, largely instrumental meditation on motherhood. Minimalist modular synths and celestial harps create a sacred, private space for new life.

Moments Worth Listening For
the title track's interlocking synth arpeggios that feel like a clockwork universe slowly winding up
the sudden, grounding intimacy of the spoken word letter to her daughter over a bed of soft keys
the way the strings swell and dissolve in the extended version, mimicking the ebb and flow of a tide
