Jack mentioned "bombastic" songs when they were recording NFR! and there's zero outtakes on this album, so I don't know what some of you are talking about.
Rolling Stone said Lana used the original version of Venice Bitch at the end of Taco Truck - so it's the closest we can get.
The scores from Mojo Magazine are one of the most influential on Metacritic. Getting an 80/100 from them is like a 90/100 or 100/100 from lesser-known publications. A good start.
A song that is produced by Zach Dawes & Nick Waterhouse, and has bass, guitars, violin, cello, and celesta in it can't be bad. Plus it's over 5 minutes long.
Candy Necklace is a mystery. Candy Necklace is the mother I never had, Candy Necklace is the sister everybody would want. Candy Necklace is the friend that everybody deserves. I don’t know a better Candy Necklace.
Why some of you are trying to listen to the album with these unbearable tags? Don't cry on March 24th that your first-listen experience is ruined because you did it for yourself.
BOZ definitely has heard Candy Necklace. He knows everything about the process of recording the songs for Lana's albums, he just didn't say anything about this particular song, he never described Fishtail or Let The Light In either.
