MERCURY-nominated band Bat For Lashes have announced that the next single from their critically-acclaimed album Two Suns will be Sleep Alone.

Bat For Lashes have received a series of high-profile commendations for the album, most recently when Johnny Depp declared himself a fan of their combination of brooding strings, dark disco beats and raw acoustic melodies.

The band, led by the enigmatic Natasha Khan, will also be touring the UK in October, with a date at the Manchester Academy on October 14.

Tickets cost £17 and are available from seetickets.com or by ringing 0870 2643333.
