Previously, Del Rey has always been cinematic in her artistry, with a vast creation of literary and movie references crammed into songs that feel like movie scenes. But here, ‘White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter’ is a stage production, a ballet, either with classical orchestral details that touch on a whole different world of storytelling traditions.
The song feels like a full-scale production telling the story of Del Rey and her husband, Jeremy Dufrene, moving through different sonic acts as the tale evolves. It’s also interesting to note that Dufrene is a credited songwriter on the track, along with her sister, Chuck Grant, and her brother-in-law, Jason Pickens, as if this isn’t just the artist writing her own story, but her composing a piece of folklore for the entire family. - Far Out
