On another Ultraviolence single, West Coast, shes both drawn to and yet feels strangely resistant toward her lover, and so the push-pull of their chemistry resembles the ebb and flow of the tide reflected by the way the songs key modulates up and down and back up again just as the tempo shifts between the pulsing verses and the almost weightless chorus, as if she were surfing and tumbling on unpredictable waves of desire and distance. Thats an extraordinarily expressive way to musically capture the vicissitudes of love — particularly for a woman unfairly derided for her supposed lack of musical skill. - BARRY WALTERS
