Bat For Lashes announces 20th Anniversary reissue of her debut album, Fur and Gold

“My debut record 'Fur and Gold' is almost 20 years old, and still holds such a special place in my heart” reflects Natasha Khan; “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.”

This 20th anniversary reissue edition was remastered by award winning engineer Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road Studios and will be released on 180g heavyweight audiophile black vinyl as well as an expanded double CD pack containing previously unseen photography.

The original, remastered album is accompanied by a slew of unearthed demos from around 2005-6, as well as BBC Live Lounge and Rob Da Bank session performances.
