No one in their right frame of mind can classify Natasha Khan's Bat For Lashes work. Genre embracing as well as boundary breaking music sets the bar impeccably high. Bat For Lashes latest album The Bride is a departure from her body of work. Embarking on the holy throne of a women who are searching for love not in another but in themselves. The Bride has a track called 'Joe's Dream' where Natasha utilizes either a chilling look into a man's perception of developing cold feet or a tragic look at life and death. Many interpretations can be at the forefront however, Natasha ropes us in towards this fairy tale with inescapable consequences.
'Joe's Dream' flutters between an imagined future and the goodbyes that are said before committing. Woefully the track tricks the listener in with its lullaby, wholehearted beat. When all in all the individual is dreaming up a life that may or may not exist.
Bat For Lashes unleashed a stellar album, full of once told truths which have become a sort of taboo in this day and age.
