Bat for Lashes has announced a new album. The Bride, Natasha Khan's follow-up to 2012's The Haunted Man and her Sexwitch album, is out July 1. She's also shared a new song, "In God's House." Find that below, as well as the first chapter of an accompanying text for the album. Previously, Khan released "I Do," which you can also find below. Update (3/11 8:52 a.m.): Check out the tracklist below, too.

The Bride was produced by Khan alongside collaborators like Dan Carey, Head, Simone Felice, and Ben Christophers. It was inspired by I Do, a short film written and directed by Khan that will debut at NYC's Tribeca Film Festival in April. Here's how a press release describes the album:

The Bride follows the story of a woman whose fiancé has been killed in a crash on the way to the church for their wedding. The Bride flees the scene to take the honeymoon trip alone, resulting in a dark meditation on love, loss, grief, and celebration.

Khan will also perform The Bride at a series of shows in churches, ahead of the album's release. For those shows, attendees are encouraged to wear wedding/formal attire. Find the dates below.
