Bat For Lashes' excellent new album Two Sons has plenty gorgeous stuff on it. For instance, we showed you an earlier live incarnation of "Moon On Moon." If I had to choose favorites, though, I'd point to those Chippendale drums and general windblown feel of opener "Glass," the chilly, running-in-the-dark dance-floor love song "Daniel," and Natasha Khan's ghostly, spare "it's curtains down time" duet with Scott Walker, "The Big Sleep." Fittingly, the latter's the closer ... because (a) it's about saying goodbye and voices fading and (b) it would be difficult following up a guest spot, however brief, from a vocal genius.

Here’s a weird and indefensible but completely genuine reaction that much-anticipated new albums sometimes provoke: I wish it was better. It’s one thing if a band you like suddenly shits the bed on a new album; God knows, that happens enough. But when someone follows up a record that hit a chord deep within you [...]

“We Found Love” is an unusually dark song for Rihanna, but in the hands of Bat For Lashes’ Natasha Khan, it’s several shades darker still. Performing the song on Zane Lowe’s BBC show, Khan leaves the original melody intact but reworks the arrangement, stripping it bare and slowing it down, rebuil...
