Things I’ve learned from internet discussions of Lana Dey Rey:
Girls are not allowed to have unique voices. Guys can mumble and barely enunciate a lot of their words (Thom Yorke, Elliott Smith, Conor Oberst, Justin Vernon, etc.), but when women sing, they must all sound like only slight variations of each other and must maintain perfect pitch at all times and have highly choreographed dance routines in all of their performances. Lord forbid they awkwardly sway back and forth while they sing, like pretty much every male in the history of indie rock.
I am in love with her album. For some reason, putting the sound enhancement all the way to the top on itunes makes it so much better; there’s so many layers of instruments and sounds, it’s awesome.
