Natasha Khan’s newest Two Suns video treatment features the same slo-mo dreaminess as Letterman-approved “Daniel,” but with less of a sinister (and modern dancing and Karate Kid) feel. New single “Pearl’s Dream,” the track she chose to close out her pre-encore set at Bowery and MHOW, gives us Khan in form-fitting garb (complete with wings borrowed from Brandon Flowers), a homemade solar system, lots of smoke and steam, and a cagey wolf. Yeasayer’s Ira Wolf Tuton plays bass on the track (as well as “Daniel”), but we’re not sure if it’s a reference to him, or just because every good new age-y pop video should include a wolf. Clearly in the know, a second Khan wearing a blond wig and dressed for sadistic business, applauds the performance.
Two Suns is out via Astralwerks.

Natasha you look good as a blonde. I dig the video.
Wow, Pearl & I have the same dream.
haha uh not my favorite by her….
Is it me, or are there far more louder drums in the video compared to the album version?
I wish our galaxy would zap my blond-wigged foes sometimes.
you and me both brother
Eh. I like the new album and i like the other videos she’s made. But the whole Pearl as a seperate identity is a little high school for me.
Umm, Fever Ray “When I Grow Up” wannabe? I think so.
Love her, not sure about this…
God, I love her.
All that is missing are Power Rangers and Simon LeBon. This is like a nicely aged 80s Velvetta. Cheese– Kate Bush should sue this chick!
I normally hate it when the song is changed for the video/single (and Natasha does it all the time!), but I’m actually liking this more than the album version.
Stereogum, you killed the “Brandon Flowers called. He wants his feathers back” joke!
nice. my fav track off the album
natasha really does seem to be into the cheesy new age fantasy stuff. whatever, bring on the wolves and planets and kingdoms. i can take them
natasha khan you marry me
why was ida maria watching natasha khan skateboard through a planetarium whilst a completely superfluous wolf looked on, angrily?
cheers emi!
That’s some weird shit…
