It's been three years since dramatic British pop craftswoman Bat for Lashes released a new album, but that will change later this month with the release of The Haunted Man. Now, we've got the premiere of a behind-the-scenes video that sheds some light on how songwriter Natasha Khan went about crafting her latest opus.

In the 15-minute clip, Khan explains in a voiceover how her creative process works and how this album came into being. What she's talking about is illustrated by a number of song clips, plus some gorgeous visuals that show Khan wandering around a remote beach in slow motion. If you weren't already excited about The Haunted Man, then this ought to do the trick.

As previously reported, The Haunted Man is due out on October 22 via Capitol in North American and October 15 in the UK via Parlophone.
