Description
É a nova grande sensação britânica. "Gravity's Rainbow" e "Atlantis To Interzone", os singles que os
mostraram no ano passado, foram a grande razão para que esta seja uma das primeiras edições mais
ansiadas de 2007. Com estas duas canções foram capa do NME e tiveram destaque de estrelas na BBC1.
Com elas também chamaram a atenção da Polydor e conseguiram um contrato. Com este selo editaram
um novo single: "Magick" e na semana de edição entraram para o Top 40 britânico.
"Golden Skans", o novo single antecipa a edição do tão ansiado álbum de estreia, "Myths Of The Near
Future". Para Fevereiro têm já marcados uma série de concertos dos quais se destaca a "Indie Rave Tour"
promovida pelo NME, da qual são cabeças de cartaz. Por causa deles, a data de Londres, no
Hammersmith Palais, esgotou em dois dias. A seguir às datas britânicas (16 no total) seguem pela
Europa, no mês de Março, onde actuarão em Amesterdão, Paris, Milão, Berlim, entre outras cidades.

Leading band as a part of the so-called 'Nu-Rave' movement in the UK, who mix indie-rock guitars with an edge of early-90's rave influences.
On 17 July 2007 "Myths Of The Near Future" was announced as one of the 12 albums nominated for the annual 2007 Mercury Music Prize. With Bat For Lashes being the favourite to win, at the ceremony held at London's Grovenor House on Tuesday 4 September 2007, when the winner was announced by Jools Holland at 10:15pm, despite being regarded as rank outsiders by the bookies, they won.
In 2014 they split up. Their last live gigs were in early 2015.
