Daly also noted Del Rey had moved away from the folk roots she has been exploring in her previous two albums. The GuardianThe Guardian, meanwhile, gave Blue Banisters three stars, suggesting some of its content seems to be outside of Del Rey's usual remit.Rachel Aroesti praised her boldness in certain songs, again noting the song "Black Bathing Suit," which takes aim at negative press attention.However, the critic also notes that while some of the more pedestrian topics (like Zoom calls) make her more relatable, seem to be slightly strange additions to the Lana canon.

All of it has been in collaboration with the tireless super-producer Jack Antonoff, who, as evidenced in the following conversation, knows exactly who Lana Del Rey is.LANA DEL REY: I’m on the I-40 with 8 hours and 50 minutes left to get back to L.A. Just one year after her last studio release, she has come out with a new poetry collection, Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass , and her sixth album, Chemtrails Over the Country Club , is out this month. And she is, above all else, the songwriter who last year released Norman Fucking Rockwell! , her most clear-eyed artistic statement to date.At 35, Del Rey has tapped a new creative vein. She is the outspoken lightning rod, who, whether or not you agree with the things she says, says them anyway. She is the pop star who hasn’t had—or needed, really—her own top-40 hit since 2014, operating as she does on the outskirts of the mainstream.
Having to stop and channel a 12-minute poem with its rhymes intact, it’s like, “Huh, okay, I don’t know if it’s good.”ANTONOFF: When you would send me them, they would always stop me dead in my tracks. Diamond Necklace by Bvlgari.DEL REY: Totally, but it’s also different because the poems come to me fully formed. Just when you think you know what you’re doing, something else pops up.ANTONOFF: Does writing poetry remind you of when you were younger and you said, “Okay, I’m a singer, I’m a songwriter”? Is it at all like reliving that first time when you took a stand and actually did the thing?Shirt by Gucci. DEL REY: I was thinking about how different it’s been making this one because of how much I’ve been distracted by poetry this year. We have to finish this album.ANTONOFF: Don’t you feel like this album kind of demanded to be made? It happened so quickly after Norman.
But with Chemtrails , it was like, “Is this new folk? Oh, god, are we going country?” Now that it’s done I feel really good about it, and I think a defining moment for this album will be “White Dress/Waitress.”ANTONOFF: What’s the story behind that song?DEL REY: We did that early on, and it started with you just playing the piano. From the top, we knew what Norman was. I’ve been really stressed about this album. It was like getting a dispatch from another universe.DEL REY: It kind of felt that way writing them.ANTONOFF: Do you feel like there was a loosenes to making Chemtrails Over the Country Club ?DEL REY: Not really.
Nowadays, you get a beautiful melody but you don’t really know what the person is talking about, or if it’s even important to them.Coat by Gucci. In the grunge movement, a lot of the lyrics were super abstract, but the melodies and the tonality were such a vibe that you felt like you knew exactly what the singer was thinking. I hate when I hear a song that has a great melody, but I have no idea what they’re talking about. What I like about that song is that for all of its weirdness, when you get to the end of it, you understand exactly what it’s about.
Nobody necessarily wants to show up to do a giant show for 15,000 kids at Berkeley, but she told me that if I’d drive out 80 miles from Berkeley, then we could practice at her kitchen table, and if it was good, she would do it. And I do yell.ANTONOFF: Will you talk about Joan Baez and your feelings about her?DEL REY: On the last tour, we went to Berkeley and I really wanted to do “Diamonds and Rust” with Joan, and she was kind enough to accommodate me. People don’t know what it sounds like when I yell.
I love that you call people and say, “Hey, I’m going to be in your town. People don’t realize that most of us don’t know each other. She fucking outlasted me.ANTONOFF: On that last tour, you really put an emphasis on building a community. Then we went out clubbing to this Afro-Caribbean two-step place and danced all night.

Mask Lana’s Own.DEL REY: That’s especially true when you’re an alternative artist, and you’re not collabbing or making nightclub appearances. Diamond Necklace, Serpenti Ring, and Diva’s Dream Ring by Bvlgari.
The one way I would describe the Midwest, Oklahoma in particular, is that it’s not cooked or oversaturated, and there’s still space to catch that white lightning.ANTONOFF: That’s why I love Jersey so much. When I’m singing about Arkansas, even I’m wondering why. What’s interesting about having a true muse—and it sounds kind of ridiculous—is that you’re at the whim of it.
With Chemtrails , do you feel like you’re revisiting the past?DEL REY: Not so much where I’ve been, but more like where I’m going. I think the best part of really feeling something that someone else does is that it inspires you not to mimic them, but to do you. That’s why I really like hip-hop.ANTONOFF: I remember you listening to some of the hardest stuff in the room. Sometimes I miss the mark, but I know what I’m going for. I guess that’s how I would describe it: I really write. I’m trying to think of the best way to describe it.DEL REY: You were probably surprised that I actually write.
“ Chemtrails ” is the title track because it mentions them all and it mentions wanting so much to be normal and realizing that when you have an overactive, eccentric mind, a record like Chemtrails is just what you’re going to get.ANTONOFF: So many people bring a confidence to the table that is actually destructive to the work.Romper and Shoes by Miu Miu.

I know some women who put on a real front. Tights by Falke.DEL REY: And yet, that’s also often not true.
