Sep 11, 2019One of my all time favorite albums.
The sounds just takes you to another world, one of magic, darkness, love, hope and desire. -

Nov 16, 2011Two Suns, the second album by Bat for Lashes, was recorded with a special guest. I am not talking about Scott Walker who duets with Natasha Khan on The Big Sleep to close the Mercury Music Prize nominated LP. Let the girl speak for herself, though: My name is Pearl / And I love you the best way I know how / My blonde curls / Slice through your heart / When the sirens come calling / It wonâ

Aug 11, 2011Somewhere 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.

Apr 16, 2011I had listened a few songs in 2009, but this style not had convinced me, later of a time i listened the whole album and I was really amazed, this album is really surprising, deeper and submerges you in a different world, Natasha has conquered my heart with odd melodies of dream pop, a complex environment which marks a truly infighting, musically wonderful, one of the finest albums I've listened...

Mar 23, 2011If dystopia is our future its movie will be Bladerunner, it's food will be soylent green, and its soundtrack will be Two Suns. You know, assuming science fiction has the predictive powers at least that of a crystal ball or a Ouija board. And I know "Music can't be sci fi you nerd," fine, you caught me. But try listening to it and then tell me the sound isn't other worldly.

ChrisJAug 17, 2009Probably the most personal album I've ever heard. It almost feels, at times, as if we're intruding on her private thoughts. Utterly wonderful.

GooseMJun 27, 2009This album is amazing. Easily one of the best CD's of the year. It sounds a bit like Bjork, Kate Bush and Tori Amos all in one. That's not to say that it doesn't sound like her at the same time. It's the most intriguing music I've heard this year. You have to listen to this. Natasha Khan makes beautiful music. You're missing out if you don't hear this.

GrantLJun 26, 2009Bought the first after hearing this one but think it is the better of the two. only real let down is siren song in my opinion.

CaseyR.Jun 16, 2009Listening to this record is like listening to a who's who of female alternative rock legends such as Kate Bush/Tori Amos, Goldfrapp, Bjork, PJ Harvey, Cat Power, Beth Gibbons, Beth Orton, Feist and Liz Frazier all thrown into this eclectic mix of creativity. It should be a shoe in to win this years Mercury Prize.

JuliaAMay 6, 2009True, there's a bit Bjork-ish touch in this album, and nevertheless this is an excellent album.More lively than Fur and Gold, dare I say.

lochrApr 9, 2009This one is way better then the previous. And it's a true magic, like some demo-version of bjork, but with it's own charm. Very good.

This record is one made with the artist’s full investment, every ounce of heart and soul poured into it visible for all to see.

MojoWhile 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]

Two Suns is a dense, intricate album that features at least six brilliant songs, two of which are pure pop gems.
