Bat For Lashes\u2019 last album, The Bride<\/em>, dropped in 2016. The album, which also followed a fictional character, centered on marriage. \u201cMarriage is one of the few spiritual rituals we can collectively share as a culture,\u201d Khan told Rolling Stone. \u201cIt\u2019s interesting that anyone\u2019s willing to go through this ritual, but if you take away the thing they need to fulfill that obligation, what happens? So I took away the groom and made her go on a honeymoon alone. I thought it would be a nice metaphor for falling in love with yourself, starting a journey of self-discovery. You can\u2019t just give that responsibility to something outside of yourself \u2013 you can\u2019t count on someone to complete you and make you happy forever. So what happens when you take the crutch away? In film and storytelling it\u2019s really interesting when the character is flung into the opposite of their expectation.\u201d<\/p>\n
