Bat For Lashes’ “Sleep Alone” video is reminiscent of the childhood adventure movies of the ’80s and ’90s: the restless, free-spirited heroine, the wolf imagery, the mysterious glowing crystals, the slightly lurid lo-fi aesthetic. The retro-kitsch vibe should now be familiar territory to fans of the band.
If you haven’t seen Bat For Lashes in concert, the live experience is equally magical. North American tour dates after the jump.

Those ‘glowing crystals’ are actually LED throwies! Easy to make… they have magnets and stick to anything metal, and glow. Neato, huh. You can find out how to make them on Make.com.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Natasha Kahn. This upcoming stop in August will be my 3rd BAT concert.
