Park Pictures director Vincent Haycock delivers a soulful and evocative portrait of California’s southland in the 4:26 music video “West Coast” for Lana Del Rey. Artfully visualizing her song of the same name, “West Coast” features Lana Del Rey on an L.A. beach with friends intercut with Del Rey accompanying an older gentleman of means on the road. The songstress finds joy on the beach and sadness in the older man’s swank car. The song is the debut single, originally debuted at Coachella, from the artist’s highly anticipated sophomore album “Ultraviolence.”
Prior music video work from Haycock includes artful pieces for Florence and the Machine, Raffertie and Calvin Harris, among others.
