Washington Shares More Details About First New Album In Six Years

Washington has shared more information today about her first album in six years. 

Dubbed Batflowers, the album is due for release on 28 August. 

“I’ve realised this is where I’m strongest - being given complete trust and full creative freedom in my work," said Washington of creating the album. 

"My incredible team enabled me to be involved on every level of the creative process and let me get as weird as I want. It’s a fantastic feeling."

“The album in full is very narrative and to me it works like the soundtrack to a musical. Aside from the actual songs, there is a lot of sound design and audio-cinema including a thunderstorm, birdsong, dreamscapes and 500 year-old church bells. 

"It was written and recorded all over the world from Joshua Tree in California, Switzerland, Berlin, Adelaide, and finished during lockdown on Minjerribah (Stradbroke Island). I also had to record some vocals inside a rental car."

Washington has today shared the brand new video for her single Dark Parts, which sees her working with film director and partner Nick Waterman to create "a desktop Facetime call to the dark side".
