Albums Of The Year 2009: Two Suns by Bat For Lashes Natasha Khan’s debut (2006’s Fur and Gold) had some sparkling moments, but was a flawed album that didn’t quite maintain the quality throughout. Two Suns is still far from perfect, but is a much better, much more engaging and consistent album. Daniel and Siren’s Song are excellent tracks, but it’s Good Love that’s a really beautiful and tender track that shows off Khan’s warm vocal style and simple backing and is the highlight of the whole album. The final track, The Big Sleep, a duet with Scott Walker is a disappointing end to a great album, however. I’m not sure quite what riles me about it, but despite this, the album overall shows that Khan still has a lot more to offer. I think album three is when she’s really going to live up to her promise.
