Natasha Khan has directed the first video for her new Bat For Lashes album Lost Girls.

Kids In The Dark was filmed in Los Angeles and offers a glimpse into the world Khan has created on her new record, the ten tracks forming a parallel universe of an ‘off-kilter coming of age film in which gangs of marauding female bikers roam our streets and teenagers make out on car hoods’.

Its stories and inhabitants will run in parallel to one of Khan’s previous female protagonists, Pearl from her 2009 album Two Suns. Kids In The Dark opens all this, with more tracks confirmed for the album including The Hunger, Desert Man, So Good, Safe Tonight and Peach Sky.
