Bat For Lashes will move on from the UK tour which is scheduled for later this month with a visit to North America in February next year.
Dates are coming up in the major cities of Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, Washington D.C., New York and Toronto in support of Lost Girls, an album which Live4ever’s review observed finds Natasha Khan ‘standing that little bit closer’ to the crowd:
“But musically it’s fully in thrall to the decade that fashion forgot, for better or for worse. The Hunger features sparse but effective piano and intricate background guitar which is bolstered by thudding drums. It’s Florence Welch set to Depeche Mode. Feel For You is funky afro-beat with multi-layered vocals, but neither distract from the guitar which seems a little too close to Nile Rodgers’ contribution to Bowie’s Let’s Dance for comfort.”
“Speaking of The Dame, instrumental piece Vampires cribs the saxophone from Lazarus and blends it with Disintegration-era Cure, all phased out bass and spiky, effects-pedal drowned guitar. Not for the reason that it doesn’t feature Khan’s vocals, still the highlight of the album.”
