Bat For Lashes – Lost Girls

Over ten tracks, Natasha Khan dreams up her own parallel universe, creating scenes like something out of an unconventional teen movie, with groups of marauding female bikers roaming the streets, teenagers making out on car hoods, and an omnipresent feminine energy mesmerizing us

"Lost Girls" is another milestone in Khan's impressive discography. It combines the sounds she's always been known to love, like deep bass, resolved synth chords, Persian beats and cascading choruses, with some of the best songs of her career so far

The album is full of romance, recounting a childhood in the 80s, movies that shaped her life, and also takes a bow to Los Angeles, where it was recorded. If you see its predecessor The Bride as a melancholic and melancholy poem about loss and regret set to music, Lost Girls is its cheeky little sister - exuberant and full of bright colours

It's music for late night car rides, holding hands at sunset, jumping off bridges with vampires and riding bikes on the moon!
