Caroline Weeks of Bat For Lashes debut solo album 'Songs For Edna'


Caroline Weeks is a multi-instrumentalist and has been a part of Bat For Lashes over the past three years. While she is involved in a handful projects across a variety of genres, (a death-folk-roots trio and a Bulgarian folk choir to name two) she is also now releasing her debut solo album, Songs For Edna, on April 7th. The record is a beautifully sparse folk record with all lyrics borrowed from late American poet Edna St. Vincent-Millay. Caroline is a classically trained flautist and has taught herself numerous instruments including her favorite, a 3/4 size Spanish guitar with her own 'secret' tuning.

You can get a glimpse of the new album by downloading the gorgeous closing track, "Elegy", below.
