SS77 2,077 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Why does it sound like Shades of Cool is unfinished? The songs on Ultraviolence are supposed to have a much lower level of production than the previous two. Lana said so herself. Which worries me, because I like very little of her unreleased/unfinished demos. However, I lived for the orchestra-soaked goodness on Born to Die and Paradise, which is going to be noticeably absent on Ultraviolence, which is going for a more 1960s rock/blues-based sound rather than the interesting mix of 1950s orchestra flairs and hip-hop-esque beats of Born to Die. I do feel like I will love Ultraviolence though. I feel like the verses will be the portions of the songs that sound the most minimally produced, with the choruses and bridges (as described in the description of "Shades of Cool") being the explosions of sound, as heard in "West Coast" I'm certain that the snippets we've heard are of the verses, so don't worry.

Danny Boy 0 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Shades Of Cool starts off with lonely sounding guitars that builds up an eerie and intense atmosphere. Lana’s voice breaks through the mist with a fragile “My baby lives in… shades of blue.†The song is written with a 6/8 time signature so just like Million Dollar Man there’s jazz/waltz influences, however much slower and stripped back with only guitars and her one layer of vocals during the verses. The song slowly builds up during the pre-chorus. The guitar picking is then replaced with slow shimmering chords as Lana sings “he lives for love, he loves his d--gs.†The pre-chorus flows slowly until she ends the section with “his strange weather….†and then a moment of silence. The song breaks into a beautiful flowery 70s-inspired indie rock merry-go-round-esque chorus. The drums come in and the iconic Born To Die strings make a triumphant return. It’s hard not to imagine Lana spinning Stevie Nicks-style in a flower garden or on the beach when listening to this chorus. Piano notes twinkle in the background layers as Lana sings over the live instruments: “but you are invincible. I can’t break through your world.†The music carries on into the second verse and pre-chorus. The electric guitars are even more present in the second chorus. The old school ‘wub wub wub’ of the guitar strings embellish the already beautiful vintage sounding chorus. The song intensifies even further during the bridge. The song turns into a thunderous mass of electric guitar and loud drums. The chaotic bridge is wild enough to transport anyone back to the live rock concerts of the 70s. The fantastic guitar solo is s-xy enough to have Lana grinding during her performance. The music dies down at the end as Lana songs ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ as it fades into silence, presumably the solemn conclusion to the calm, wild, calm narrative of the song. This song is a great choice as a promotional single and is arguably many times better than West Coast. This track is what you would expect Cruel World to sound like. There are many more surprises waiting on the album, we will just have to wait until June to experience all of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
