Living Legend - a five-song EP of Lana Del Rey covers is out now via Secretly Canadian

Loren is a child of Los Angeles, he is a velvet crooner who belongs behind the piano at the Chateau Marmont, and when he sings Lana, it is a kinetic alloy, both exuberant and heart breaking. There is a slowness to the type of synergy that is Loren’s Living Legend – it took two lifetimes to get here; both Lana’s and Loren’s. In this way, Living Legend acts as a double portrait. An impression of two lives overlapping on an axis of poetry, grief and addiction, Loren’s voice pulling Lana’s past into our immediate present. 

There’s something about the purity and timelessness of his vision that feels rare; the new EP is the kind of thing you can imagine hearing in the smoky basement room of a Sunset Strip dive bar decades ago, while also feeling entirely appropriate performed live at a downtown fashion show.

From Living Legend - a five song EP of Lana Del Rey covers out March 28. Living Legend, a haunting EP comprised solely of transcendent Lana Del Rey covers comes out March 28 via Secretly Canadian. Loren’s versions of these beloved songs are more than mere tribute to one of the defining artists of the 21st century – they are singular reinterpretations that cut to the core of Lana’s spirit and offer the listener a rare opportunity to hear these songs for the first time again.
