    Dark, but never needlessly so, Two Suns offers a rich, distinct world of subterranean lullabies, spacey timbres, and ghostly beauty.

    Two Suns then is everything it could have been--a worthy follow up to Bat For Lashes' Mercury nominated Fur & Gold... and so much more. Here and now, take a trip, you just may come out enchanted.

    While Two Suns almost inevitably finds Natasha Khan caught between the rock of artistic muse and the hard place of major label rockability, there's still invention and charisma enough here to keep both leftfield chin-stroker and ingenue fan onside for now. [Apr 2009, p.106]

    If dystopia is our future its movie will be Bladerunner, it's food will be soylent green, and its soundtrack will be Two Suns.

But try listening to it and then tell me the sound isn't other worldly.… Expand

    Somewhere between Kate Bush and PJ Harvey, beautifully dark and introspective, dreamy, sometimes scary and way too risky, many steps further from her debut . Two Suns has got to be one of the best albums of the decade.… Expand

    It's incredibly dissapointing to wade through all that intriguingly dark and brooding atmosphere and find nothing there. The songs feel empty. She was aiming for some kind of haunting 80s-esque effect but forgot to write engaging music. Sure, it's an okay album to chill out to. But she is way too talented to settle for a chill out record. This is the result of worrying more about the concept of you music than the music itself.… Expand
