But, as she recently experienced a burgeoning desire to settle down, she realized that steadiness can beget creativity. That evolution is what fuels much of her new album as \u003cstrong\u003eLala Lala, Heaven 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor many years, West lived in Chicago, where she established \u003cstrong\u003eLala Lala\u003c\/strong\u003e as part of that city’s indie scene, releasing several records on the \u003cstrong\u003eSub Pop \u003c\/strong\u003eimprint \u003cstrong\u003eHardly Art.\u003c\/strong\u003e Those albums, \u003cstrong\u003eThe Lamb \u003c\/strong\u003eand\u003cstrong\u003e I Want the Door to Open,\u003c\/strong\u003e were powerful statements from a curious artist: catchy guitar-pop songs about being stuck in the ups and downs of life, the struggle to stay sober, to leave town, to blow up your life. West left Chicago to search for more and, in the process, wrote her new album, \u003cstrong\u003eHeaven 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn her journey, she landed in New Mexico, where she lived off the grid in Taos. \u003cem\u003e“It was very challenging, freezing, infested with poisonous animals. But it’s still the most beautiful and magical place I’ve ever been and I dream about it all the time,\u003c\/em\u003e” West says. She then made her way to Iceland, where she lived for two years on and off, with the off being in London, where she grew up. Eventually, she made her way to Reykjavik and settled in with the music community and released an instrumental album (\u003cstrong\u003eIf I Were A Real Man I Would Be Able To Break The Neck Of A Suffering Bird\u003c\/strong\u003e) before heading to Los Angeles, where she has fallen in love and found herself settled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWest produced the album with \u003cstrong\u003eJay Som’s Melina Duterte, \u003c\/strong\u003ewho provides a strong punchiness as a bed for West’s warm, rounded vocals. The relationship between the two of them was telepathic, and the result is a bold and confident album. Duterte and West performed almost all of the album’s instruments, with a few crucial guests, like \u003cstrong\u003eSen Morimoto\u003c\/strong\u003e on saxophone on the opening track, “\u003cstrong\u003eCar Anymore,”\u003c\/strong\u003e and a bridge written by \u003cstrong\u003ePorches’ Aaron Maine\u003c\/strong\u003e on the title track, “\u003cstrong\u003eHeaven 2.”\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGatefold digipak CD\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e01.
