Just two days ago, Off To The Races – a promotional track from Lana Del Rey’s album Born To Die – went live on UK iTunes for free download. Needless to say it is absolutely incredible. Lyrically, melodically, production value, everything.
If you follow Bradley Soileau (the guy frOm the video for Born To Die) on tumblr, you might have noticed a fair few images surfacing last week of “girls with guns”. Since they filmed the video for Born To Die, it is clear that Bradley and Lana have been in contact (publicly on Twitter or behind the scenes), which brings us to the video posted below, edited (once again a la Video Games, Kinda Outta Luck, Blue Jeans) by Lana Del Rey herself with research or at least some creative input (I assume) by Bradley Soileau. It’s brilliant. Although the only glimpse of Lana that you will get is the fan-made artwork at the very beginning.
