MySpace Music Exclusively Premieres New Albums From Richard Swift and Bat for Lashes

LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ MySpace Music) - MySpace Music, the world's leading online music portal, is proud to announce the exclusive premiere of Richard Swift's 'The Atlantic Ocean' and Bat for Lashes' 'Two Suns'.

Currently, fans are able to stream the albums in their entirety via each artist's respective MySpace Music profiles. The debuts give users a chance to preview the music one week before each is available for purchase.

Richard Swift is a prolific singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who has been praised around the world for his lo-fi, genre-spanning musical style. Swift's fourth album, 'The Atlantic Ocean,' (April 7, 2009, Secretly Canadian) was recorded in friends and fans Wilco's studio and guest stars the likes of Mark Ronson, Ryan Adams and more.

Swift has been hand-picked to tour with Wilco, Stereolab and Cold War Kids in the past and will tour with Vetiver this spring and The Fray this summer.

With her new album, 'Two Suns,' Brighton, England's Bat for Lashes (Natasha Khan) has given 2009 what is sure to be one of its most incredible records. Using magical realism imagery, 'Two Suns' (April 7, Astralwerks) is an album that explores dualities on a number of levels, detailing two lovers, two planets, two moons, two sides of a personality and more. Musically, it's just as dynamic, featuring guest turns from Brooklyn psychrockers Yeasayer and the legendary Scott Walker.
Co-produced by Khan and David Kosten, 'Two Suns' mixes autoharps with intense electronics, complex drum rhythms with lush keyboards and strings. Khan herself worked the majority of the musical magic, while illuminating every song from the inside out with her voice, sounding bolder, fuller and more impressive than ever before.
