This just in: The third solo album from Ash/Bat For Lashes guitarist Charlotte Hatherley, the outstanding New Worlds, is being released in the United States by the label Minty Fresh on Oct. 13—this coming Tuesday. Which is fantastic news, as I’d thought that the lack of buzz regarding a release date over here meant that it would fall into turnaround; New Worlds is a rich, twisty record that deserves to be heard by as many fans of smart guitar-rock as possible. Yay! Now maybe we can get her to tour this side of the world on her own… [Official site / YouTube / Earlier] More »

chazFormer Ash/current Bat For Lashes guitarist Charlotte Hatherley‘s third full-length, New Worlds, comes out in the UK next month, and it is such a great album, trading in the post-punk leanings of her previous (outstanding) effort The Deep Blue for something a little proggier. “Alexander,” which starts off as a delicate, finger-picked ballad before growing into a frenzied plea to a lover, is the new single from the album, and I hope the release of the track’s attendant video means that the record will see the light of day in the States sometime soon.

Charlotte Hatherley Cleans Up Real Nicely

whiteThe first taste of New Worlds, the third solo album from Bat For Lashes/Ash guitarist Charlotte Hatherley, has hit iTunes today, and to say that I recommend it would be an understatement. “White” is a low-end-heavy plea to a lover that represents something of a departure from the shimmering pop that characterized her previous album The Deep Blue, but it’s ultimately satisfying, particularly when the background “ooohs” swoop in on the song’s chorus. A video for the track, in which Hatherley shows off her ability to lip-sync in reverse while getting doused with brightly colored paints, after the jump. More »



Charlotte Hatherley Is Feeling Minty Fresh

Charlotte Hatherley—the former Ash guitarist who’s also the newest member of Bat For Lashes—has a U.S. label for her forthcoming album Cinnabar City, which will come out on Minty Fresh at an unspecified date this summer. The first single, “White,” represents something of a shift from her last album, the spiky The Deep Blue; it’s a moody rocker propelled by a thick guitar line that recalls the best moments of (swoon) Helium. (And it makes me pretty sure that the “Carrie” she’ll be emulating in the song’s clip is the pig’s-blood-drenched one, not the Manolo-wearing one. Whew.) MP3 after the jump.

Thanks to Fluxblog for tipping us off to the UK songstress Charlotte Hatherley; we picked up Grey Will Fade, which she released in 2004, and we were absolutely gobsmacked by her power-chord instincts–honestly, we were singing along from the second verse of “Paragon.” More »
