Lana Del Rey couldn’t satisfyingly flesh out her stunning “Video Games” shtick on Born To Die — not that the album’s mediocrity kept her from becoming a superstar. Still, it’s a wonder what some time off and Dan Auerbach’s influence did for her. This vision remains Lana’s alone, but in Auerbach she’s found exactly the old soul to realize it with. Ultraviolence lends rock ‘n’ roll edge to Lana’s glamorous/pathetic doomed dame pastiche and ramps up the hallucinatory shimmer until immersing yourself in Technicolor melodrama feels like the only way to live. –Chris [LISTEN]
