Bat For Lashes

Stereogum: Album of the Week

“Bat For Lashes transcends nostalgia on Lost Girls to make an entirely modern masterpiece” – Line of Best Fit (10/10)

“Pleasure and happiness live alongside unease on Lost Girls. Khan is able to pierce through the darkness while still honouring it, and in doing so, acknowledges the validity of her emotions.” – Exclaim! (8/10)

“Bat For Lashes‘ latest record is the soundtrack to an imaginary 1980s vampire movie” – BBC

“Bat For Lashes Was Done With Music, Then The Lost Girls Found Her” – Refinery 29

Lost Girls is another brilliant full-length in Khan’s incredible, acclaimed discography, mixing sounds she’s always loved — heavy bass lines, synth arpeggios, Iranian pop beats, cascading choruses — with some of her finest songwriting to date. It’s an album full of romance, a homage to Los Angeles where the album was recorded, to being a kid in the 80’s, to films that touched and changed her life.

If her last album, The Bride, was melancholy and mournful, a tone poem of loss and regret, Lost Girls is her mischievous younger sister, widescreen in scope and bursting with Technicolour intensity. It’s an album for driving in the dark; holding hands at sunset; jumping off bridges with vampires; riding your bike across the moon. (continue reading full bio in downloads folder)
