A world away from the bombast of crossover hit Summertime Sadness, the first taste of Lana’s Ultraviolence sets a brooding atmosphere with its creeping Dan Auerbach production. Can’t really picture it as a commercial radio hit, the hooks are too understated, but I guess some shitty dance producer will remix a 4/4 house beat underneath and prove me wrong. As it stands, a promising turn away from Born To Die’s Hollywood glitz – an exaggerated analogue could be the disparate halves of Mulholland Drive, but we’ll see.
