Music Review: Bat For Lashes - Two Suns - Page 2

Two Suns is more beat-driven than Fur And Gold. The use of synth and drum programming allow for a more ritualistic atmosphere. Sometimes this is meant literally, as in the somewhat pagan "Sleep Alone," and sometimes it is meant metaphorically in order to establish a supernatural connection, as in the infectiously dour "Daniel."

Physically speaking, life never ends. It's just transformed. But spiritually speaking, Khan's Pearl dies in "The Big Sleep" (which features Scott Walker) and marks another stage in Khan's life. While there are many things in life that we cannot control, it's joyful to listen to the amazing Two Suns and hear that Khan describes the new record as "This is me."
