Bat for Lashes, Lilies

I’ve been listening to Bat for Lashes long enough that it’s just part of the background of how I understand electronic music. Natalie Droog’s voice and those gothic synth arrangements—it’s hard to explain why they work, except that they do. Lilies is another piece of that world, and I return to it the way you return to places that feel like home even when they’re unsettling.
