Bat For Lashes by Michal Pudelka
Bat For Lashes announces her sixth studio album.
Natasha Khan will release her next Bat For Lashes record on May 31st.
The Dream Of Delphi is to mark her debut on the Mercury KX label, and is confirmed with a video for its title track – described as, ‘the manifesto of the album’.
It’s like a spell being cast. It’s the conjuring, the manifestation, the drawing-down of Delphi from the ether. This is me calling on her soul. It’s about going up into the stars and down into the underworld simultaneously, how celestials and deep guttural sounds can come together, how that reflects the journey I went on. It’s about what happens when you’re stretched physically, mentally, even vaginally!
“I think it’s just humbled me, too, becoming a mother. It’s made me feel more vulnerable than I’ve ever felt before. But I feel more human, more embodied. I can’t escape life by making beautiful things as much as I did. But there’s sort of a beauty to my mortality now.”
There’s also news today of the first Bat For Lashes UK dates in five years, which will take place during June.
