An extraordinary, devastating album that haunts like a dream and cuts like a knife. You must buy it, now.

Like Kate Bush before her, Khan creates uncompromising, heartbreaking music that sits in a singular, eerie landscape. It’s a joy that she lets us in.

The ever-present threat of all-eclipsing darkness that gives Two Suns its edge and makes this an album that really is quite exceptional.

A dense, intricate album that features at least six brilliant songs, two of which are pure pop gems.

Pearl’s Dream is quite simply a blast, a worthy offspring to Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill and Fleetwood Mac’s Big Love.

The Irish Times
Lilting, pagan-like folk songs are offset by slivers of experimentalism, off-kilter rhythms, tinny synthesisers and quirky song structures.

For this album, Khan has created an alter ego called Pearl, her New York party self, who is depicted on the back of the sleeve by Khan in a blonde wig.

The arcane flavours of zither and harpsichord that gave Fur and Gold its piquancy have mostly gone, replaced by a blander patina of keyboard tones.
