For me this was one of those bands that you hear about or read about but don't actually hear for a while. I only grabed the album because I knew they were going to be at Latitude this year.

I now have two of the albums; Fur and Gold and Two Suns.

I would describe them (them is Natasha Kahn in the same way Mick Hucknell is Simply Red) as a cross between; Kate Bush, Tori Amos with many other influences and a lot of layering, creating a dreamy sound which maintains poise and clarity.

If you like something a little off the mainstream but isn't a hard listen them give this a try
