The Dream Of Delphi, By: Bat For Lashes - Model Number: 6501830

Description 

The record weaves together ten song poems, documenting the polarity of navigating both an exterior world that was seemingly turning upside down, whilst also experiencing theprofoundly personal and transformational early moments of mothering Delphi, named after the Greek Oracle, the ancient future teller.

The music became Natasha™s sanctuary, born out of stolen trips to the studio, where each track was improvised and completed in a few hours and chronologises her diary like offerings over a period of two years; from œThe Midwives Have Left; to writing a œLetter To My Daughter; and all the way through to œWaking up, as well as a cover of her daughter™s favourite song, œHome.

While the storytelling behind Bat For Lashes™ previous albums have traditionally used otherworldly narratives and female lead characters (e.g. ˜Laura™, ˜Daniel™ and ˜The Bride™), for the first ti me, The Dream Of Delphi is about Natasha™s personal experience of the magical and sometimes melancholy intimacy of early motherhood. This record creates a more private form of mythology around the music than her previous work. The Dream Of Delphi touches on more of an instrumental œBat For Lashes world, and shows Natasha to be both a confident composer and craftswoman of intimate landscapes. While the music creates a more womb-like, ambient space for the listener, it still leaves ample room for her signature dream pop songwriting to vibrate through. Natasha has worked with Brad Oberhofer, Mary Lattimore and Jack Falby on this record
