So far Natasha Khan’s given us a couple of compelling Two Suns videos: “Daniel” went for a sinister modern dancing (and Karate Kid) vibe and “Pearl’s Dream” found Khan in winged form-fitting garb performing opposite an evil blond twin, a wolf, and lots of smoke and steam. For “Sleep Alone,” we see Khan in her bed alone and not liking it. Unable to sleep, she hits the street — also alone — before becoming transfixed by a black and white love scene/variously colored lights and plastics. Here, she heads back to the apartment, whips out the arts and crafts supplies, and works on a solution to her loneliness. Like the other two clips, it moves with an appealing dream logic.

The Mercury-nominated Two Suns is out via Astralwerks.

    This album is still tops. This is probably the most visually appealing of her videos from this album.

    Hey Nordy – that’s the douchiest thing to say. Ever. Plus, I saw her play and she’s probably one of the most beautifully, talented women I’ve ever seen! That actually goes without saying.

  6. I am only a lukewarm fan of Bat For Lashes, but i’ll be damned if she doesn’t have the best music videos in the game right now.
