Bat for Lashes - Two Suns - Nico

Two Suns by Bat for Lashes, album art

Two Suns by Bat for Lashes -- Natasha Khan's second album -- just arrived via snail mail from Amazon. I still prefer a CD for really good music. Dowloading songs to my iPhone is OK in an emergency, but if I know something really good is coming out, I'll pre-order it online. That and some new iPhone headphones. This album is very good and it's going to sound amazing through my new headphones on the bus tomorrow morning. The headphones are called Tune Buds, made by Griffin.

So far this album is not blowing my mind the way her first -- Fur and Gold -- did but that's because I first got into the single "What's a Girl to Do?" With this new album at about 1 minutes 20 seconds I thought it was going to blow my mind, but then it started to sound a little off. I still proclaim Natasha Khan -- more than just the singer, she is the band -- to be a reincarnated Nico. We must not forget that as off as Nico was, she was brilliant.

Nico (16 October 1938 – 18 July 1988)
