In 2008 just before Lenka stepped on stage to begin recording her video for her first single The Show, she made a promise: I want to write more songs about being in love. On album two you ll hear more of those. Now in 2011, she makes good on her word and returns with Two, an album full of love songs. While recording in both England and the U.S., Lenka worked with producers including David Kosten (Bat for Lashes), Guy Sigsworth (Bjork) and Eg White (Adele, Duffy) who helped take Two in a more distinctly electronic direction. From her first single Heart Skips A Beat to You Will Be Mine Lenka tackles the many stages of love, but no matter what the subject, Two s songs reveal a braver Lenka, ready to take on the world.

In Sydney, Australia, Lenka was a teen actress who trained with Cate Blanchett, thereafter landing leading roles on stage, television and indie films. A self-described 'punk-ass art school student' and vocalist/keyboardist for acclaimed indie Electronic/ambient outfit Decoder Ring. She has flung herself into two new worlds simultaneously: she's moved to California and become a solo artist. Whether channelling our long-repressed terrors ('Trouble') or long-lost innocence ('We Will Not Grow Old'), her music evokes primal emotions, unblemished by pretense or cynicism and unashamed of cracking a smile occasionally. Lenka's fresh sensibility extends to every element of her music, as the whimsical, paper art, stoimated videos she creates.'It's a mood-enhancer,' she says of her record, 'I don't like it when people are depressed. I want to cheer them up.'
