My apologies for being unable to write the “Biggest Albums of March 2021” round up. I’ve spent lockdown changing career paths and my law exams made that column an impossibility. Not to worry, rather than simple rolling on to April, 411 is back with a bumper round-up of the biggest name and most intriguing releases from March and April.
Lana Del Rey – Chemtrails Over The Country Club (Pop)
Norman Fucking Rockwell could not be topped. The bad-boy, West Coast, American Dream overdosing on excess mythology that Lana Del Rey had been sculpting since her debut came to a glorious head on that one façade shattering album. Lana was recast as Slyvia Path roaming around in her fucking night gown writing on the walls in her own blood – where on earth can you go from there? The answer, it seems, is to go back to the very beginning.
