**Bat For Lashes** is the artistic pseudonym of Natasha Khan, a British singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for her ethereal and rich soundscapes that blend pop sensibilities with dreamy, otherworldly elements. Born on October 25, 1979, in London, Khan traces her ethnic heritage to a Pakistani father and an English mother, elements that have subtly influenced her sound and thematic explorations. Her debut album, "Fur and Gold," released in 2006, turned heads for its unique blend of mysticism and fairy tale-like narratives wrapped in lush sonics, earning her a Mercury Prize nomination.

Her body of work is characterized by a deep dive into emotional terrains, often wrapped in a cloak of the mystical and the fantastical. Natasha Khan's "Lost Girls," a 2019 album, is an ode to '80s culture, filled with references to films and music of the era, expanding her repertoire with infectious synth-pop vigor. With each release, Bat For Lashes continues to evolve, displaying Khan's profound ability to morph and adapt musically while maintaining the emotional integrity and ethereal quality that have always been her trademarks. Her most recent releases such as "Feel For You" and "Kids In The Dark" add to her rich discography, confirming her standing as a valuable and distinctive voice in contemporary music.
