Bat For Lashes has re-released her debut album ‘Fur And Gold’.
Remarkably, it has been 20 years since Natasha Khan introduced her first album as Bat For Lashes, marking the beginning of one of the most intriguing modern discographies in British music.
The Mother Witch last appeared in 2024 with her outstanding LP ‘The Dream Of Delphi’, and now it's a moment to reflect on the past.
‘Fur And Gold’ celebrates its 20th anniversary with this re-issue. It is currently available for streaming; the album was remastered by the award-winning engineer Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road Studios, and the original edition has been enhanced with a variety of newly discovered demos, plus performances from BBC Live Lounge and Rob Da Bank sessions.
Now available digitally, the 20th anniversary edition will be released on 180g heavyweight audiophile black vinyl, along with an expanded double CD pack featuring previously unseen photographs, set to drop on February 6th, both available for preorder now.
“My debut record ‘Fur and Gold’ is nearly 20 years old and still holds a very special significance for me,” Natasha reflects; “Going through the entire album recently with my collaborator and producer David Kosten brought a proud tear to my eye… no compromises, ample space, quirky midi sounds, playful lyrics, thunder and lightning, girl group backing vocals, heartbreak and enchantment… the record I had long dreamed of creating. I believe it stands the test of time, and I hope more people can experience this world with me.”
