Lana Del Rey’s new American Dream & Electric Picnic in review (Podcast)

Episode 60 of the Nialler9 podcast is a lot about Lana. Andrea and Niall, along with guest Kelly Doherty take a deep dive into the Californian’s fifth album. Is it a trash fire of the American Dream or has LDR found new ground in which to sing from away from the pop zeitgeist?

There’s also a look back at Electric Picnic from the ground, track reviews of Grimes, Bombay Bicycle Club, Four Tet, and the world’s first vertical gig and the return of reasons to be cheerful.
