I was predicting a new Bat For Lashes album in 2012, and the English songstress is ready to deliver her third studio release “The Haunted Man” on October 23rd.

The first single from the album, “Laura”, dropped yesterday on iTunes, and you can take a listen to the simply beautiful effort below¨.

Bat For Lashes – “Laura”

p.s. If you are a European then make sure you catch her on one of her forthcoming dates later this year.
