Bat for Lashes is [[I Am the Band|not a band]], but the stage name of Natasha Khan, a critically praised English musician. She plays multiple instruments including the piano, the harpsichord and the autoharp. She also has a background in the visual arts, which shows in her elaborate shamanic costumes and sets. Her work has been described as "mystical indie pop", with its lush, ethereal soundscapes and lyrics that are, uh, [[Department of Redundancy Department|mystical]]. Her first album, ''Fur and Gold'', was more earthy and insular in its instrumentation and her second album, ''Two Suns'', features more electronic influences.
