Lana Del Rey - Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass [180g]

Lana Del Rey's debut spoken word album, Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass, showcases a different side of the artist's creative expression. Originally released as an audiobook, this vinyl edition presents Del Rey reciting her poetry over ambient soundscapes composed by Jack Antonoff. The collection features introspective pieces that explore themes of love, loss, fame, and the California landscape.

Across the album's spoken word performances, Del Rey's intimate vocal delivery brings her poetry to life with raw emotion and vulnerability. Key pieces include "LA Who Am I To Love You," "Sportcruiser," and the title poem "Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass," each revealing Del Rey's literary sensibilities and stream-of-consciousness style. Antonoff's sparse instrumentation provides atmospheric backing that enhances the meditative quality of the verses.

This 180-gram black vinyl pressing comes housed in a gatefold jacket that complements the album's introspective nature. The heavier vinyl stock provides durability and proper playback, while the expanded packaging offers space for additional artwork and lyrical presentation.
