The Dream Of Delphi' is an ode to motherhood. It's a sonic archive of a time when Natasha birthed her daughter Delphi earth side. The record weaves together ten song poems, documenting the polarity of navigating both an exterior world that was seemingly turning upside down, while also experiencing the profoundly personal and transformational early moments of mothering Delphi, named after the Greek Oracle, the ancient future teller.
While the storytelling behind Bat For Lashes' previous albums have traditionally used otherworldly narratives and female lead characters (eg 'Laura', 'Daniel' and 'The Bride'), for the first time, 'The Dream Of Delphi' is about Natasha's personal experience of the magical and sometimes melancholy intimacy of early motherhood.
