BAT FOR LASHES reveals the video for new song 'The Hunger' - Watch Now

Bat For Lashes, aka Natasha Khan, reveals the video for new song “The Hunger” from her highly anticipated new album Lost Girls out on September 6 via AWAL Recordings.

“The Hunger,” which Khan directed and stars in, is shot in an otherworldly nowhere place, and reveals Khan’s character Nikki Pink’s rise as the head priestess of the Lost Girls, spreading magic and light through a sensual ceremonial performance. A meditation on love, grief, release, and redemption, the video was produced in collaboration with her production company Lief.

Watch the video for ‘The Hunger’ – BELOW:

Spanning 10 tracks, Lost Girls sees Khan dreaming up her own fully formed parallel universe, laying tantalizing clues on social media. If her last album, The Bride, was melancholy and mournful, a tone poem of loss and regret, Lost Girls is her mischievous younger sister, widescreen in scope and bursting with Technicolour intensity.  It’s an album for driving in the dark; holding hands at sunset; jumping off bridges with vampires; riding your bike across the moon.

Within the women of Lost Girls and her character Nikki Pink, Khan unfolds elements of herself; within these songs, we do the same.  Filled with gauzy, 80’s-esque power ballads, Iranian-inspired beats, and the sort of epic sonics reserved for film credits rolling up a screen, Lost Girls is a noir, supernatural night-riding adventure, and one of the finest albums in Khan’s rich, varied discography.
