'''Bat For Lashes''' is the English musician '''Natasha Khan''' (born 25 October 1979), a Brighton-based songwriter.
==Background==
Khan graduated in music and visual arts;<ref>[http://arbobo.over-blog.com/article-10791704.html interview for arbobo.fr]</ref> while at university her experimental work was influenced by artists such as Steve Reich and Susan Hiller, and she produced multi-media work centred on sound installations, animations and performance. She went on to work as a nursery school teacher, and it was during this period that she began writing the material for her first album. "Whenever I'm writing music it's a very visual place in my mind," said Khan. "It has a location full of characters and colours and landscapes, so those two things really complement each other, and they help the other one to blossom and support the other. They are like brother and sister."<ref name=DS>[http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Bat_for_Lashes_plays_the_Bowery_Ballroom:_an_Interview_with_Natasha_Khan Interview with Natasha Khan], David Shankbone, ''Wikinews'', September 28, 2007.</ref>

Her debut single, "The Wizard", was released digitally through Echo, alongside Feeder and former Echo and signed to Parlophone records. ''Fur and Gold'' was re-released with the addition of bonus material.
