What a long, strange trip it’s been to this moment in music. The headlines are all too familiar – major labels are dying, download this, download that, blahblahblah… All the hubbub over technology and filthy lucre has obscured what is becoming increasingly clear: 2009 may be the best year for music in a decade – a veritable golden age, if you will, captured in a twelve-month period.

It’s official – the ‘90s are the new ‘80s, and Charlotte Hatherley’s new solo single is the glorious proof. Okay, they are still some greed-decade echoes in “White,” the first download from the recently released album New Worlds from the former Ash guitarist and current touring instrumentalist for Bat For Lashes.

If you are follower of Kspace, then you know we’re fans of Bat For Lashes, having written incessantly about her music, her photography, and her connection to professional cricket! Well, the Bat love isn’t stopping yet, thanks to two amazing new remixes off the lovely Ms. Natasha Khan’s album Two Suns, one of the most acclaimed of 2009.
