Bat For Lashes

Bass player/singer Natasha Khan a.k.a. Bat For Lashes brings us her second album Two Suns, which follows on from her well received 2006/2007 debut Fur And Gold. Although she has stated that this album is a bit of a departure from the themes of the last one, the characteristic sparse arrangements and haunting vocals are still there. This means that those who loved her previous work won’t be disappointed. Part of what makes Khans music so special is that she understands the importance of silence in song writing, and is able to perfectly use it as a tool to add depth to her music. That being said, the lead single Daniel is a small deviation from her usual sound in that it is slightly more (for lack of a better word) complex in that more instruments are used and layered. First time listeners will find it a lot easier to get into this than some of her other songs. However, to get a better idea of what to expect, Travelling Woman is more what you should expect the album to sound like. Mr. Ed
