Rejoice, fans of Bat for Lashes’ spooky-beautiful 2007 debut Fur and Gold! Two Suns, the kohl-eyed musical mystic’s April 7 follow-up, is available for streaming today on MySpace — but we have something even cooler for you.
The "Two Suns Total Eclipse Megamix" features a piece of every track from the record, woven together by DJ John Fewel under the strict supervision of BfL (a.k.a. 29-year-old Brit Natasha Kahn), and interspersed with audio clips from The Karate Kid — the inspiration behind the album’s first single, "Daniel."
You know those time-collapse PBS nature films, where flowers blossomand clouds rush across African plains at accelerated, oddly gratifyingspeeds? This is sort of like the trippy, unicorn-fancy-dancing aural equivalent.
But if you’re a Fur fan, don’t take my word for it, sensei; listen below and tell me if you think the Sun also rises:

Video for daniel is something else, listened to the new album a few times, i actually prefer it to the first. it is slightly heavier but better for it.
I love this mix. DJ John Fewell is brilliant.
This is freakin amamzing. I can’t wait to have this album in my hands.
sounds great…I can’t wait to get it
