Next year will mark two decades since the release of Bat For Lashes’ debut full-length Fur And Gold. Natasha Khan is celebrating early with a 20th anniversary edition.
The new version of Fur And Gold was remastered by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road Studios, and that’s on streaming now. The physical copies — out in February — feature previously unreleased demos. “My debut record Fur And Gold is almost 20 years old, and still holds such a special place in my heart,” the London-based indie musician says, continuing:
Listening back through the whole album recently, side by side with my collaborator and producer David Kosten, brought a proud tear to my eye… no compromise, tons of space, shit midi sounds, tongue in cheek lyrics, thunder and lightning, girl group BV’s, heartbreak and magic… the record I had been waiting my whole life to make. I think she stands up, I hope more people get to live in this universe with me.
