added 15 April 2009 at 16.17

Natasha Khan visits X-posure to talk to John Kennedy about her latest, spellbinding album ‘Two Suns’. Listen to the full interview now.

It may have shocked a few people that Bat For Lashes’ latest album ‘Two Suns’ entered the charts at no.5. Not us. We’d been spellbound by ‘Daniel’ for quite some time and were champing at the bit to hear more of her wondrous songs.

When ‘Two Suns’ finally hit the shelves, it was everything we expected… and way more. Unsurprisingly, John Kennedy quickly pulled Natasha Khan in to X-posure to talk through the making of her latest album.
