British singer, songwriter, and multi- instrumentalist Natasha Khan, aka Bat for Lashes, is coming to America. Granted, she only has one tour date scheduled, for May 1, in the Unites States' biggest city, but it seems American fans of her brand of dark, arty pop music will just have to take what they can get for now.

Those fans will get more than just a lone tour date in New York City, though, as Khan has inked a deal with Caroline Records to bring her enchanting little debut record, Fur & Gold, to the U.S. on July 31. Vinyl heads get it first, as a limited edition of Fur on LP arrives Stateside May 15 via Manimal Vinyl.

Khan's summer dates are still pretty substantial, thanks to the fact that she is playing about half of the hundreds of thousands of British festivals in existence. Or nine.

05-01 New York, NY - Joe's Pub
