Ultimate test of bass - Lana del Rey's A&W


I've been listening a lot to the excellent new Album from Lana del Rey.  One track really stands out, and that's A&W

Besides its brilliance, the bass in the last two minutes of it is quite staggering.  I mean, even at low volumes whenever I play it I'm half expecting my neighbours to be hammering on my front door.

I wonder if Lana uses loops and pro-tools for her recordings?

 

Happy Listening!

I tend to like Lana Del Rey, but if A&W is the best track on the album - maybe not my taste. Sounds a lot like Billie Eilish to me (at least I'd put them in the same category). Cool of her to make something unusual. Try Maggie Rogers' Alaska from Heard it in a Past Life album to see how well the subs produce bass and how well the room handles those resonances.

Excellent suggestions as above. I will second;

Erykah Badu - Rimshot

Brian Bromberg - Wood and Wood II.

 

Happy Listening!

@durangoat thanks for that referral....something about hearing an actual instrument that makes the results in your room so much more satisfying;  no offense to the OP as I sometimes enjoy electronic music but it is mostly overdone for my ears and becomes annoying very quickly....I am going to let Brian keep playing! ; )
