Event overview
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTILL THE NEW YEAR.
Natasha Khan, better known by her stage name Bat for Lashes, is an English singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.
Bat for Lashes first captured hearts way back in 2006 with a set of distinctively haunting and rich, darkly phantasmagoric songs ripe with magic realism. Her sensual and gilt-decorated dream world was opened up in two Mercury Music Prize nominated albums, the atavistic, reverb-drenched Fur and Gold (2006) and 2009’s more electronically poppy Two Suns. The latter featured the irresistible Daniel – which won Ms Khan an Ivor Novello award for Best Contemporary Song – and was recorded in London and across America. Bat for Lashes last album, The Haunted Man, was released in 2012. Khan is also the vocalist for Sexwitch, a collaboration with the psych-rock band Toy and producer Dan Carey, and their debut album was released earlier this year - with versions of songs that Khan and Carey picked up while on jaunts to places as far flung as Morocco, Thailand and Iran. The lyrics have been translated, and the songs recorded live in a single session. The result is a selection of hypnotic, groove-based tracks that feature jagged post-punk guitars and shrieking crescendos.
All are welcome to attend these public masterclasses but priority will be given to students on the BMus Popular Music programme.
