Bat For Lashes speaks about the making of Two Suns

When Bat For Lashes released Two Suns earlier this year, critics started buzzing about it being one of the year’s best, and certainly most original, records. Bat For Lashes, aka Natasha Khan, synthesizes the dreamy singer-songwriter fare of artists like Kate Bush or Tori Amos into a style that’s wholly her own, and which often includes pulsing electronic beats as well. A documentary is now out called Two Plus Two, and Pitchfork TV has the whole thing up on their site, divided into clips. The doc shows Khan speaking candidly about the creation of the album. She says the creative material that fueled the record has been in her for nearly two years, and putting all of that into one album was a lot like giving birth. In fact, she said, it was quite a painful process.
But it appears to be over now, and Khan’s music is standing on its own and attracting numerous fans from throughout the indie rock scene. The clip from the doc shows her performing some recent hits to packed houses, and you can bet that if you get concert tickets for her shows in the future, they’ll only be more faces there.
