Description
Released in 2014, Ultraviolence is Lana Del Rey’s definitive descent into psychedelic rock and "desert noir." Moving away from the hip-hop-influenced "trip-hop" beats of Born to Die, this album embraces a raw, analog sound characterized by fuzzy electric guitars, heavy reverb, and slow-burning tempos.
Produced largely by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, the record feels like a hazy, cinematic fever dream. It explores themes of tragic romance, power dynamics, and the "dark side" of the American Dream. From the hypnotic, multi-layered lead single "West Coast" to the hauntingly orchestral "Old Money," the album captures a specific mood of melancholic glamour.
