Lana Del Rey’s universe is a place where post-war Americana’s romance looms over the coarser present—and the more you explore her catalog, the darker the clouds become. She’s determined to break through the gloom and create her own mythology, as on the dreamy “Coachella - Woodstock In My Mind” and the nostalgia-tinged “The Next Best American Record”—and her smoke-plume voice and finely attuned songwriting make her world feel all the more real.
