When fashion combines with efficiency - with a dash of peer pressure from minimalism - you get capsule wardrobes. Here's the scoop on where the idea came from, and how you can work it into your lifestyle.
Laura Gibson, hailing from Portland, OR, retains the signature quirkiness of Pacific Northwestern folk artists like Mirah and Kimya Dawson, but her fourth studio album, La Grande, envelopes classic folk music in a cloak of dreamy mystery that pulls you hypnotically through the album.
Lana Del Rey's last album was sweet. Sickly sweet. It was syrupy and viscous and while it was rich with luscious depth, it didn't have much in the way of variety, or emotional variance. Her latest release, Ultraviolence, is still just as foggy and romantic, but has more elements (read: better production - thanks, Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys!) that allows the accompaniments - from orchestral to reverb-laden guitar - to really stand out against Lana's voice and add a 3-dimensional effect that was missing with her first release, Born to Die/Paradise.
