The Fader has a revealing cover story on Bat For Lashes, where the perpetually disrobed Natasha Khan discusses some of the elements comprising her hypnotic new album, Two Suns:
“Every time I get close, his heart vibrates, gets stronger and we get blinded by it,†Khan says. “So I try and make him a cloak made of rainbow colors to refract the light so we can be close, but every time we do, the suns in our chests set fire to everything. In the end, the two suns burning so hotly creates a third thing, a perfect white diamond that flings into space and we become two planets constantly orbiting, basking in each others light, always separated, but there is that diamond that remains.†This cosmic talk is all metaphor of course, cloaking the timeless themes that dominate Two Suns, as well as Khan’s experience making it: journey, love, struggle and resolution.”
The first single off of Two Suns, “Daniel”, has been getting a lot of play lately, thanks to a cool video and some intriguing cover art which further documents Khan’s glorious distaste for clothing.
