Natasha Khan and Her Little Dream World

Singer and composer Natasha Khan of Bat for Lashes has been compared to many other volatile femme fatales including Tori Amos, Bjork, PJ Harvey and Kate Bush. And Khan’s songwriting style definitely fits into in the same genre as these other female artists. However, just like each of them, Khan has a style and dynamism that are totally unique to her.

Khan’s imagination takes us to an age of knights, dragons, and unicorns. Natasha states in interviews, she can see the inspiration for her songs from her mind.

She talks about how the inspiration for , Fur and Gold, her first album, came to her in a dream.  She was working at a nursery school and finding it hard to pay her bills, then she had a dream about Joan of Arc, inspiring her to start an album.   After the success of Fur and Gold, Natasha had some personal experiences that inspired album number two, under her alter personality Pearl.   Pearl a blonde, self-centered hottie, is the subject of many songs on the Two Suns album.   

Natasha’s utilizes unusual instruments, in Bats for Lashes.  The bells, violas, and harpsichords, are fused with synthesized, creating a haunting yet beautiful sound.

The outstanding vocals and soundscapes, of Two Suns, makes  it easy to forget that the lyrics are about knights, and emerald cities.  Bat for Lashes fans will truly be impressed at the new level of artistic ability that Two Suns brings forth. The others have not let us down, hopefully this will not.
