Bat For Lashes is the work of British singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and visual artist Natasha Khan. Born in 1979, yet combining influences that span decades, Natasha's work dwells in the elemental, emerging in timeless forms. Bat For Lashes' music is bold and vivid. Her debut album Fur And Gold is a very special record, a cohesive collection of songs so haunting and mesmerizing it makes a striking impression on all who hear it. It was whilst working as a nursery school teacher, following her university degree in film and music, that Fur And Gold album opener "Horse & I" came to Natasha in a dream. Inspired by tales of Joan of Arc, Natasha is woken by a black horse at the window and sent on a fateful quest. This extraordinary dream became the muse for the songs that now comprise Fur And Gold.
