Daniel



Bat For Lashes' Two Suns was released a couple days ago but I haven't picked it up yet. This, the first single, is a great song. I've only listened to it a handful times (today) but there's something about the breathy vocals and 80s pop vibe that have really stuck with me. It's not a huge departure from any of the songs off Fur and Gold, one of my favorite albums of 2007, and I mean that in a good way. It's just surreal. The video, which reminds me of some weird, alternative stage performance, is oddly memorizing and compliments the song nicely. If the other tracks on the album are anywhere near this good, I'd say Bat For Lashes will be one of my favorites this year too.
