Bat For Lashes
Two Suns
(Astralwerks)
|
Following up her Mercury Prize-nominated debut Fur and Gold, the beautiful and talented Natasha Khan (a.k.a. Bat For Lashes) presents Two Suns, a mystic and arresting album that once again touches upon an astounding array of musical genres like rock, soul, world, electronica, and even new age. – Brian G., Hollywood
Natasha Khan is back with more hypnotic, iconoclastic lady-rock that puts her solidly in the canon of Kate Bush, Bjork, P.J. Harvey and Goldfrapp. It’s not only the emotional range of her voice, which easily rises from a lovely whisper to a ghostly scream, it’s the cinematic, deeply personal songwriting, impressionistic, vivid paintings in word and sound. You’ll be swept away by the gorgeous river of shimmering sonics one minute, and swear she’s reading your diary the next. A great talent that’s just getting started on stealing your heart.
