LANA DEL REY - Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass LP shoegaze Despite nods to the sounds

LANA DEL REY - Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass LP shoegaze Despite nods to the soundsNot an album of songs but of spoken word poetry. Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass contains evocative and wistful poems read by the author Lana Del Rey. They're performed well; her feminine voice emotes the text with urgency and confidence. The poems include plenty of clever phrases but they're appealing because of their eloquence.
