Bat For Lashes The Dream Of Delphi
Natasha Khan's Folkloric Exploration of Early Motherhood
"The Dream Of Delphi," the latest album from Bat For Lashes—Natasha Khan's musical persona—unfolds as a deeply personal and folkloric narrative centered around the transformative experience of early motherhood. This album, marking Khan's first release since the acclaimed 2019's "Lost Girls," serves as a profound exploration of the physical, mental, and spiritual metamorphoses that accompany the journey into motherhood.
The Motherwitch: A Conduit for Conjuration
At the heart of "The Dream Of Delphi" is the character of the Motherwitch, a mystical figure through whom Khan partly tells her story. The album's lead single and manifesto casts a spell, symbolizing the summoning of Delphi—a metaphor for Khan's daughter—from the ether. This act of creation mirrors the dual nature of existence, marrying the celestial with the guttural, the heavenly with the earthly. Khan describes this process as a journey of extreme stretching—physically, mentally, and emotionally—culminating in a newfound vulnerability and humility.
A Spellbinding Video in the English Countryside
Accompanying the album is a visually captivating video, crafted in the lush English countryside under the creative guidance of Alexandra Green and director Freddie Leyden. This artistic piece complements the album's themes, encapsulating the magical and transformative essence of Khan's musical exploration.
