Lana Del Rey has unveiled her new single, “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter,” the latest preview from her upcoming album Stove.
Filled with classical instrumentation and delicate, near-whispered vocals, “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter” is a purely lovelorn offering from Del Rey. The track was co-written by her husband, Jeremy Dufrene, making it his first-ever songwriting credit; the song appears to reference their initial courtship, his fondness for hunting, and their eventual marriage. Throughout, she depicts images of domesticity — cooking for her husband, riding on his “John Deere mower” — and skates across a refrain with a rather anachronistic “Whoopsie daisy yoo-hoo,” almost like an old cartoon character muttering to herself. All the while, psychedelic strings bloom across a gently-strummed acoustic guitar, with chords that never quite resolve.
Though it’s a bit of a peculiar arrangement, “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter” certainly feels like one of Stove’s thematic centerpieces. Her rap-like cadence in the verses recall Del Rey’s older style, where she summoned references both modern and classical with a kind of luxurious passivity. Now, Del Rey is completely love-drunk, fawning over her husband and basking in the way he completes her after a period of uncertainty. “Everyone knows I’ve had some trouble,” Del Rey sings in the pre-chorus, “But it’s been three summers/ I know it’s strange to see me cooking for my husband.”
