It's been two years since Lana (Banana) Del Rey released Born To Die, her 5 million+ selling sophomore album. It was great then and it's even better now. Once you get your head around the cinematic sound of her music you can't help but fall in love with this unique, odd-ball starlet. With her new album Ultraviolence not far away at all and a bunch of teaser tracks being released onto the internet by the lady herself (all of which won't be on the final record) it is fitting that a single be released. All hail West Coast, the song that threatens to burst into reggae at the very start but turns out to be a hypnotic, very Lana type affair, with soft guitar riffs and echoing synths and some staple Lana lyricism about Saigon, icons and being a lush. This song is beautiful.
4.5/5
