Bat for Lashes - Two Suns



Release date: 6th of April, 2009

4/5

Label: EMI UK
Length: 44:51

Natasha is defenitely a talanted charming young lady, and her 1st album we remember because of the nice animal-headed video "What's a girl to do", where she is cycling through the dark forest, telling us that her love is over.
The Sunday Times gave 5 stars to the new CD and called it the "record of the week". Atmospheric, ethnic tunes, yet her singing sometimes reminds me of Sinéad O'Connor's early 90s vocals, especially the single "Daniel". Anyway, looking at the cover with the two suns indeed, you see a pixie rather than just a human being, that is why she deserves to be admired.
Recommended tracks: Glass, Sleep Alone, The Big Sleep
Plus check out the double album "Perfect as Cats:Tribute to the Cure", where she covered " A Forest".

Beta Satan - Girls



Release date: 10th of September, 2008

5/5
Label: Crunchy Frog
Length: 37:45
The debut album of Danish electronic punks make you wanna move your ass. A good sense of humour, represented in the open minded video clip where a "guy" watches a strip of another "guy" ,who is actually himself , makes you confused - guys, are you gays? Who cares! This is "social ignorance", the "devil" disco, satanic punk, so be scared, sinner!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz


Release date: 9th of March, 2009
5/5
Label: Interscope
Length: 41:49
They knew it is the 21st century outside, it is too digital, it is too electronic and people do not like analogue things anymore. Karen O still sings though, and not a robot. It is less hysterical, it is less mad, but it is fresh and juicy like a morning egg! Smash it in your hand, then swallow your eye and jump, because you are zero anyway!
Recommended tracks: Heads will roll on the floor, Dull life, Dragon Queen

Antony and the Johnsons - The Crying Light


Release date: 19th of January, 2009


4/5

Label: Secretly Canadian
Length: 39:24
The eccentric British song writer's 3rd album "The Crying Light" was less than a surprise but more than just a dissapointment, because such a mysterious voice cannot lose the power too soon. Thus melodies are less expressive, still gracefully melodical and lyrical. Monogamy turned into monotonia, which brings a feeling of a song to a dead bird. Who said it cannot be enjoyable?
Recommended tracks: Epilepsy is dancing, Kiss my name, Daylight and the Sun
