Don Yates mini review: "The third album of ethereal art-pop from British singer-songwriter Natasha Khan (aka Bat For Lashes) is a bit more streamlined and pop-friendly than her last album (2009’s Two Suns) while being even more heavily influenced by ‘80s-era Kate Bush, with a polished, intricately layered sound combining twinkling synths, atmospheric guitars, dramatic strings, stately piano, propulsive, occasionally tribal rhythms and crystalline vocals." 10/19/2012

Don Yates mini review: "This Minneapolis trio briefly posted their debut album for free last year through Bandcamp before they realized the label interest it was generating. Now signed to Domino, the band has re-tooled their debut for its official release, and the end result is an often-stunning set of atmospheric psych-pop inflected with glam-rock, country, soul and more. The album’s lush, reverbed sound combines trippy guitars, ethereal synths, strings, organ, pedal steel and soaring, falsetto-laden vocals on warm, expansive songs laced with blissed-out pop melodies." 10/12/2012

Robert Smith on wearing black: "It's an identifying process I've kept down the years. I wear black – I'm wearing black now, I always have. I don't do it because I'm making a statement, I do it because it's … I don't know, slimming? You don't have to wash so often? Probably the main reason is that all my clothes are black. I often ask, 'Does it come in white?' and people just stare at me." It's just over a year old, but Louis Pattison's interview with Smith is worth reading if you haven't yet. bit.ly
