I do like Lana Del Rey but I'm not sure whether her music and The Sisters would fit together

That kind of tends to be the point of mashups.

I thought the question was for Lana Del Re and TSOM mash-ups?
Finland Red Egypt White is by a completely separate band.. surely?

I'd say Video Games/Nine While Nine, but I'm with you on that other thing

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
Any Idea where I can get Instrumentals OR acapellas of either of the tracks suggested?
At the risk of sounding a dumbass... Dublin Boot?

Can't help out with instrumentals, but with Dublin Boot Dave probably means a recording (bootleg) of the gig in Dublin on 11/11/11...

I agree with the Zola Jesus assessment (lana is zola dressed up as lolita..) other than that Zola Jesus was crap to begin with. That's maybe unfair but she sounds enough like Siouxsie that I had to make the comparison, and in no way does she survive that.
No really it's strange no less than four of my ex-girlfriends recently found themselves enamoured with this glossy portrait of a girl (lana). I think it's that line "you like your girls insane" that sold them.
Anyway anybody else hear this stuff about how lana is a piece of "manufactured authenticity", and marks the watershed of where all meaning in music has been swallowed by postmodernism, and henceforth our ears will be blessed with nothing but unadulterated artifice?
Except when we buy tickets to the sisters of course.

Wow. A slight case of over-thinking. Sounds like the typical over wordy s**t spouted out by some arsey pseudo intellectual muso journalist that doesn't actually feel music at all (so that's pretty much ALL of them).
If I dig a sound, I just dig it. Simple as that really.
haha - postmodernism shmostodernism

Brilliant voice, great songs, desent lyrics and damn is she beautiful.
A true femme fatale.

Even if she is (and if so, she's not the first), I don't see how it follows that
all music is suddenly enveloped by the same phenomenon. Maybe in the top 40 industry, but even that is a strangely categorical statement.
Or why you should agree with this notion at all if you don't buy into postmodernism.
I'm with orchoid - it sounds like lazy music journalists trying to carve out some sort of a pseudo-intellectual niche for themselves.

I'm with you on this! I bought that paradise boxset too...
Her gig last year on the Werchter Festival was a highlight.
There might be a team of players behind her success, but she obviously loves what she's doing.

I've only heard 1 of her tunes, thus far - and it was because of that damned mashup.
Went and listened to the unadulterated tune itself on YooToob - "Dark Something-Or-Other" - and I quite like her voice (and that's saying something, because, as a rule, I loathe - and I mean,
LOATHE - female vocals/vocalists).
Not interested in the image, videos, etc., whatsoever. I mean, she's sort of cute, but she's no Noomi...
