Lana Del Rey ‎– Chemtrails Over The Country Club

Lana Del Rey’s seventh studio album, Chemtrails Over The Country Club, is a melancholic journey through themes of love, loss, and the yearning for a bygone era. Sonically, the album leans into folk and Americana influences, with Jack Antonoff returning from Norman F**king Rockwell! to craft a soundscape of gentle guitars and understated piano that perfectly complements Del Rey’s signature vocals.

While “Chemtrails Over The Country Club” references the conspiracy theory of the same name, the album’s heart lies in its exploration of Del Rey’s personal relationships. She herself has described it as a tribute to her “stunning girlfriends” and “beautiful siblings,” capturing a sense of nostalgia for simpler times and the complexities of love and heartbreak. The album doesn’t shy away from themes of disillusionment, weaving a bittersweet tapestry of emotions that resonates with Del Rey’s signature melancholic beauty.
