"Laura", the first release from October album The Haunted Man, makes Bat For Lashes the highest new entry on The Hype Machine's most blogged artists chart for July 25.
"It will probably remind you of old Cat Power where the emotion (read: it's sooo depressing) is so extreme your heart might ache for hours afterwards," enthuses music blog RCRD LBL.
"Khan's biggest talent lies in creating heartbreaking ballads," explains All Things Go. "The accompanying video is even more evocative, pairing a wide-eyed Khan with an aging drag queen. It is rare that a video both literally and successfully illustrates its track, but Khan seems to have mastered that skill as well. Is there anything she can't do?"
Freelance Whales is another act returning with news of an October album release, Diluvia, and the free single "Locked Out" indicates something of the band's new direction.
Expectant listeners can look forward to "the band's refreshed sound through its expanded incorporation of electronics, along with the theme of outward excursions," writes Earmilk.
