This is a thread where you can ask for recommendations of artists/songs/albums similar to Lana or similar to one of her songs/albums.

 

I'd like to start by asking for similar songs to NFR title track. I love this song, its melody, the piano and the vocals. What else would I like?

NFR is extremely similar to Fiona Apple's "Love Ridden"

No but The Black Keys (Dan Auerbachs band) has a song called 10 Lovers from their 2014 album Turn Blue. I am absolutely sure the synth is what he brought over to West Coast.

If anyone is looking for the deep lyrics and dreamy production that are like Ultraviolence + Honeymoon, there's an artist called Nostalghia who does this incredibly well. 

I'd suggest her EP B-Sides for the broken hearted.

Be My Man and Slow Fade are most like Lana. They even have the cinematic production. 

But Starshine is very much like Lana's piano ballads.

I remember some youtube comments, when West Coast first came out, suggesting Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit was some kind of spiritual inspiration for it. I (sort of) see the point.

White Rabbit

Also consider the alternative -- "radio mix" -- version of West Coast, sent to German radio (which was probably Nowells produced). It's nice LDR allowed the two versions to co-exist in "released" form.

Lana has to continue with this sound.

I've always wanted lana to do this dark electro.

I love this. It's like Mr Kitty and The Anix who I listen to.

Does anybody knows any artists/albums/songs similar to:

 

~~~ 1) AKA and the Lizzy Grant hawaii metal surf noir beach rock trailer park Coney Island hot dog motorcycle lemonade Hollywood sound? Something like Wayamaya, 1949, Last Girl on Earth, The Ocean/Kill Kill...

 

~~~ 2) Honeymoon, Paradise and unreleased UV like Terrence Loves You, Swan Song, Fine China, Is This Happiness, Beautiful People, Say Yes To Heaven, Big Eyes, Honeymoon A.K.A. vintage cottagecore Hollywood sadcore field of roses cigarettes jazzy depression orchestral reverb slutty ethereal glamour?

[Alison by Slowdive 26,016]

it is so difficult to identify similar artists/music to lana - she is just so singular and unique. julee cruise's work on her album 'floating into the night' might be closest in terms of atmosphere and production. but i can think of songs that might be able to - either sonically or thematically -  slip into lana's version of "hollywood":

• 'louise' and 'every stupid actress' - TV girl
• 'starlight' - pure X (their whole album 'angel' rly)
• 'under the spell' and 'name on a matchbook' - springtime carnivore
• 'visions of LA' and 'J's heaven' - slowdive

For some reason, a lot of videos in this thread aren't showing up properly. Can you please list the artist and song title as well as the video link so I can chase them up? Thanks

The voices of Arlo Parks and The Weather Station remind me a bit of Lana/Lizzy, especially in this songs:

In "Eugene" she also mentions Sylvia Plath
