Lana Del Rey Born to DieOkay, so Lana Del Rey has had a tough start. Between
the time her breakthrough single Video Games achievedworldwide success last year and her super-buzzed new al-bum Born to Die was released at the end of January, she hasbeen hit with a hurricane of shit from all directions.
But upon examining her career so far, its not hard to revealed her as a failed and re-branded pop star formerlynamed Lizzy Grant last autumn, she was turned into a shin-valuable indie market. She retained her hype despite therevelation, which ultimately culminated to a near-AshleySimpson-level Saturday Night Live performance embarrass-to new levels of disgrace upon a highly publicized diss fromnone other than chill anchor bro Brian Williams.
The story by this point made for a perfect comebackending; one that proves all the haters wrong with an emo-tionally deep and musically adventurous release.
Instead, the awkwardly depressing Born to Die soundsmore like a poorly executed mix of Ke$ha and Amy Wine-house. Most of these songs sound like muted versions ofwhat should otherwise be stadium-sized pop songs. Itshard to understand who Lana is trying to please. Her songstructures and cringe-worthy awkward lyrics seem to beonly half-committing to the mainstream pop her industry
overlords usually go for, but it also takes from the worstanyone looking for a new, hip indie voice.
So where does she go from here? Surely Lana Del Reycant pull of a second re-invention. She was built as a com- burning on a national stage within a matter of months. Iwould feel sorry for her, but most of me feels like it had tohappen. -SAMUEL LIEBRAND
Cloud Nothings Attack On Memory
swept Brooklyn last year comes Cloud Nothings withthese guys bring to the table is both a blessing and acurse; sure, theyre a little more fun to listen to thanthe barely-audible Wavves or the formulaic whining ofBest Coast, but listeners will detect more than a fewinstances of dubious songwriting choices. The cho-to the songs uptempo verses, and the plodding NoFuture/No Past suggests that maybe Cloud Nothingsarent quite as smart as they think they are.
One impressive aspect of Cloud Nothings compo-sitional style is their ambition. Shredding guitar solosand strange, staggering rhythms from drummer JaysonGercyz come together for an impressive show of musi-cianship. The overall feel of Attack On Memory makesa lasting impression as well. The production of the re-cord is perfect not only for the bands aesthetic, butalso the era in which theyve come of age. Front manDylan Baldis raspy tenor is well suited to the made- bass and jangly guitars back him up to create an al-bum thats equal parts garage punk and virtuosic tourde force. But even with these things going for them,Cloud Nothings disappoint over and over again with
over-indulgent guitar interludes and spacey introduc-tions that run too long for their own good.The band shines most on the bittersweet and ultra-
catchy Stay Useless, which will remind fans of theearly 2000s, when all the hippest punk bands playeddance beats and there was no way to tweet about it.Its a shame, too, given the room for potential on dis-play here. If only it added up to a little less than thesum of its parts. -ANDY POLHAMUS
