Bat For Lashes, February 2020, Town Hall, New York
My love for Bat for Lashes (Natasha Khan) started when I was 15. Since then I’ve had on my closet wall in my parent’s house (above my sewing machine, duh) a cut out from Noise Magazine with her profile. I loved what she had to say about her music in that article and Trophy will always be one of my favourite songs. As a Russian Studies (Eastern European Folklore) Minor (who did a seminar on Vampires), it only made sense for me to cover the tour off of her release of the album Lost Girls,...

Cornbury Music Festival 2018, July 2018, Great Tew Park, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
A phoenix-style return to love for 2018 – and beyond – found us Cornbury fans trekking back to the middle of nowhere (aka the Tews) for more music and entertainment .
