Bat For Lashes came back in July with their fourth album The Bride, The ‘band’ is of course Natasha Khan and the new record sounds promising; a concept album that follows the story of a woman whose fiancé has been killed in a crash on the way to the church for their wedding. In the narrative ‘The Bride’ flees the scene to take the honeymoon trip alone, resulting in we are told “a dark meditation on love, loss, grief, and celebration”. You can hear In God’s House from the album, it is probably one of my favourite ‘new’ albums of the last few years. So if you’re not familiar with their music, it’s worth checking out.
The Bride was released on Parlophone Records on 1 July 2016.
