Nov 05, 2019 Death Cab for Cutie By Christopher Roberts

Lana Del Rey released a new album, Norman Fucking Rockwell, in August via Interscope. She’s currently touring the album and last night at the Bellco Theater in Denver, CO she sang a duet with Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie, covering his classic 2005-released song “I Will Follow You Into the Dark.” Gibbard was one of the openers, performing a solo set. Another opener was Australian singer/songwriter Julia Jacklin and Del Rey also performed a duet with her, doing Jacklin’s own song “Don’t Know How To Keep Loving You” (from her latest album Crushing, released earlier this year via Polyvinyl). Watch fan-shot videos of both duets below.

Lana Del Rey released her last album, Lust for Life, in July 2017 via Interscope. In September 2018 she returned with a new song “Mariners Apartment Complex,” shared via a black & white video. That was quickly followed by another new song, the near 10-minute long “Venice Bitch,” also shared via a video (the song was our #1 Song of the Week). Both songs were collaborations with Jack Antonoff (he of fun. and Bleachers, and in an in-demand producer). Then she shared a cover of Sublime’s “Doin’ Time.” And she also shared a pro-gun control song “Looking for America” and a cover of Donovan’s “Season of the Witch,” neither of which are featured on the album. Then she shared two new songs from Norman Fucking Rockwell, “Fuck It I Love You” and “The Greatest,” via a joint video for both songs (“The Greatest” was one of our Songs of the Week). Then she shared a video for her cover of Sublime’s “Doin’ Time” in which she’s a giant wandering around Los Angeles and eventually also walks out of a movie screen at a drive-in movie theater. Then Del Rey shared a backstage at the Hollywood Bowl video of her rehearsing a cover of Joni Mitchell’s “For Free” as a trio with Weyes Blood (aka Natalie Mering) and Zella Day.
