Now we've got two suns! Thanks to Bat for Lashes

In 2007 Natasha Khan, alias Bat For Lashes, released her debut record Fur & Gold to some rapturous reviews which had the critics drawing comparisons to Kate Bush or a more restrained Bjork. Her follow-up proves there was much substance to the reputation garnered from that first effort. The haunting opening track 'Glass' sets the pace beautifully for what amounts to a deeply affecting, sonically rich record that resonates long after the music ends and the silence begins. Khan’s voice soars and swirls through the gorgeously ethereal soundscape. In short, an album that is sure to please those in the know and newcomers alike.
