London-based musician and multi-disciplinary artist Natasha Khan – aka Bat For Lashes – today releases a remastered version of her acclaimed 2006 debut album ‘Fur and Gold’, available now on streaming services via BMG. 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 – see below for full tracklist.
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 on February 6th, both available to preorder now.
“My debut record ‘Fur and Gold’ is almost 20 years old, and still holds such a special place in my heart” reflects Natasha; “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.”
The spellbinding album introduced Natasha Khan’s visionary blend of myth, emotion and cinematic pop to the world, earning widespread acclaim and a Mercury Music Prize nomination. Featuring signature songs “What’s a Girl to Do?”, “Horse and I” and “Trophy”, Fur and Gold remains a defining statement of imagination and artistry. A timeless debut, beautifully reimagined for a new generation of listeners.
