You're probably familiar with Natasha Khan, aka the mastermind behind Bat for Lashes, aka that unicorn-loving hippie-goth chick who broke out with 2006's genuinely haunting Fur & Gold. But you are probably not familiar with Pearl, Khan's "destructive, self-absorbed, blonde, femme fatale" alter ego. (Sounds like somebody got a little too into I Am...Sasha Fierce.) Khan and Pearl will do battle all over Bat for Lashes' new album, Two Suns, due out on Astralwerks April 6. Think split personality albums can be kinda pretentious? Well, you probably shouldn't read this next sentence: A press release goes on to describe Pearl as a "direct foil to Khan's more mystical, desert-born spiritual self" and the end of the LP finds Khan "confronting the end of the illusory world and prepare for wherever the world will take her next." And here we thought Pearl was just the go-to moniker for all 1950s receptionists.Still, based on the strength of Fur & Gold-- not to mention Khan's creepy, killer voice-- we're holding out hope that she can succeed with the new persona. Plus, Pearl isn't the only guest who'll show up on Two Suns: one of the few singers as goose bump-worthy as Khan, Scott Walker, will wail on closer "The Big Sleep," and Brooklyn-based kindred spirits Yeasayer also make an appearance.Bat for Lashes will tour the UK in April, with a U.S. tour set to be announced soon. Until then, a list of song names awaits: read more
