Pitchfork

With Fur and Gold (originally released last year in the UK) finally set for U.S. release July 31 via Caroline, Natasha Khan and her wood nymphs/backing musicians will treat U.S. audiences to a welcome little dose of their magic.

Following a couple scattered appearances here, Bat for Lashes' inaugural Stateside foray proper commences July 23 in happening Hoboken and wraps up barely a week later in the City of Angels. It's a brief spell of a tour, but what else Khan you do? (Groan!)

Bat has a pack of European festival commitments lined up as well, and the lady recently released a single in the UK for Gold nugget "What's a Girl to Do". Catch Khan giving us her best Sarah Nixey while on a surreal midnight bike ride in the song's video below.
