Loren Kramar announces Lana Del Rey cover EP, Living Legend
Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter and composer Loren Kramar has announced Living Legend, a forthcoming EP comprised of Lana Del Rey covers.
Accompanying the announcement, Kramar has shared his rendition of “hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have – but I have it”.
“I was a girly boy,” says Kramar. “Called prissy-pansy-fairy-fruity. Those were intended as insults, something to do with femininity and a failure of manhood. I sing Lana’s words as she wrote them: hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have. It’s a gesture that feels elegant and triumphant that says: yes, I’m a faggot. What was used to humiliate me has become self-possession. I am who I am and I, too, have lived this script of anguish and faith.”
On the forthcoming release, Loren Kramar is joined by the likes of Daniel Aged, Dylan Day, Sam Gendel, Benny Bock, Casey MQ, Stewart Cole and Zsela, and almost each recording was done in a single live take. Living Legend follows last year's debut album, Glovemaker, which accompanied news of his signing to Secretly Canadian.
