3. Bat For Lashes, Two Suns (2009) “What’s more heartening, though, is that during Two Suns’ highlights, Khan has few peers. I could probably fill this entire space just writing about “Glass”, the album’s aggressively propulsive opener, and about how its strange mix of elements (chamber pop, prog metal, new age— what?) magically coalesced into some entirely new genre that I wish existed and yet still can’t quite wrap my brain around. Then there’s the booming “Sleep Alone”, which, with its rusty guitar licks, Knife-inspired synths, buzzing basslines and floorboard percussions, feels kind of like a sea shanty circa 2074. Or the aforementioned “Daniel”, the album’s first single, which marries brittle, 80s-influenced electro and an inspired viola arrangement with what has to be, hands down, one of the most insidious choruses of the year.” (Source)
