Let’s Get Lost by batforlashes

“Hello everyone… Wow!!! I am so thrilled and happy to have won an Ivor Novello award! The whole ceremony was really overwhelming with tons of great musicians, songwriters and composers gathered under one roof. I was soooo nervous, but managed not to cry until after I accepted my award.
I think this one means such a lot to me, because its about the craft of songwriting, which at times can be a maddening and terrifying thing to do, but equally joyous and liberating when you think you’ve cracked it. I couldn’t have believed after writing Daniel in my bedroom, dreaming about lost teenage love, that this would happen!

I just want to thank everyone who has supported me to get to this point… I am writing the new album right now and so excited to be creating a whole new world!! Cups of tea, piles of books and musical instruments abound. I am also making some short films which i hope to share with you at some point.

Stay happy and well, and please, if you can, make your vote online to save BBC 6Music. The deadline is approaching, we music lovers can’t afford to lose this radio station!

Love natasha “

Here is a link to one of the ways that Natasha mentioned where you can show your support to 6Music.

The song ‘Let’s Get Lost’ is drenched in Beck’s signature lo-fi electronics, with both Bat and Beck duetting Natasha’s lyrics over atmospheric synths and dramatic beats.

The full soundtrack will be available on Atlantic from 8 June, with the film itself on general release from 30 June.

‘Daniel’, the lead single from the album ‘Two Suns’, has been entered into the ‘Best Contemporary Song’ award.

The winners will be announced on the 20th of May 2010.

The release has two previously unreleased tracks, both of which are live recordings of Natasha performing with a string quartet:

A: Howl! (Live at De La Warr Pavillion)
B: Wild Is The Wind (Live at Grove Music Studios)

Each release will come in a vintage-style paper Parlophone house bag which has been designed especially for the release and uses elements of historic sleeves from the 1960’s to the present day. It is strictly limited (the maximum run is 1000) and exclusive to the independent record shops taking part in the event.

Natasha would like to give a big thank you to all the wonderful audiences throughout the tour.

Gracias mi amigos.

Just a little message to say that I’m really excited to see those of you who are coming to the Bexhill show tomorrow… and to let you know a little of what will be happening.
It wont be your average Bat For Lashes show…!

We have planned it to be in two halves - the first will be to introduce our new drummer Valentina to you. We will be playing a 45 min set of songs from across both albums, in preparation for our tour with Coldplay in South America next week. All very exciting!

Then we will have a 20 min interval to prepare for a very special and exclusive one off set of songs…I dont want to say too much about it, but it promises to be a very intimate and magical performance….a string quartet and projections by Julia Pott and Robin Bushell being the highlights! Ive been practising this week, and a little nervous but so excited about it. Cant wait to see you!

love natasha xx..x.x….x.x
