Bat for Lashes mastermind Natasha Khan is back with "Ha Howa Ha Howa," the latest song to emerge from her new side project, Sexwitch.

A new Soundcloud sampler featuring six songs from Bat for Lashes' forthcoming 'The Haunted Man' album has been posted online. The player features three tunes ('Laura,' 'Marilyn' and 'All Your Gold') that have previously surfaced online, plus three cuts ('A Wall,' 'Oh Yeah' and 'Winter Fields') that are making their online debuts. Check them out below.

For most of her career, Natasha Khan — aka the frontwoman and creative force behind Bat for Lashes — has been compared to artists like Siouxsie Sioux, Björk and Kate Bush, but with the release of her band’s upcoming third album, ‘The Haunted Man,’ all those comparisons might have to stop.

To say that Natasha Khan is haunting — or haunted — is as obvious as it is understatement. The woman that is Bat for Lashes made a breakthrough in 2009 with the stomping and luxurious ‘Two Suns’ and distills her poetics in ‘Laura,’ a knee-quaking and minimalist ballad. Listen below.
