theviolence

I didn't used to come on Lanaboards during the UV/BTD era, was there a different theme back then? Like how we now have the Honeymoon theme? I wonder how it looked back then

You took the words right from my mouth! The album title lends so much more insight into how the record will be than simply a snippet of a song. When she mentioned Honeymoon, I instantly thought of dreamy, slow music with washed out hues of pink, yellow, violet and blue. The title is the first lyric of the album, and defines the mood for the next 14 songs.

I wonder if she'll post some exclusive pix for us to enjoy privately

Why could she be going private??? I can literally see no reason whatsoever omg queen of privacy

Today could be iconic if she decides to make it so

:toofunny: this hits too close to home And she had better relieve us all of this thirst and tease something, anything, tomorrow... I guess we can just wait and hope

And imagine if that is in two days

The poster looks so late-sixties summer of love/early 70s love it

2 MVs, public appearances during February/March, the kaleidoscopic nature of her hair, the release of Honeymoon :toofunny: she doesn't even get caught outside anymore

False alarm is only good with the mv

We are going through the driest of dry spells to be getting excited over an interlude BUT I AM LIVING this is so good, featuring on 2 consecutive abel albums

Very beautifully described

I need this to arrive soon because I need to know if we can expect any new material, and partly because I just haven't seen her for so long I wanna know how she looks now

Please don't jinx it I can imagine this happening

I didn't know that. And definitely not - the producer could've been anyone and I still would be attributed to them the divergence in sound on Ultraviolence from her previous albums. The gender, sexuality, race or religion of a producer is irrelevant to how they can influence the sound of a record. The mood, visuals and aesthetic Lana created herself with UV was a major part of its brilliance, the music and the darkness and the drugs. It is undoubtable, though, that Auerbach brought something special to the sound - all producers do, they all have an individual flair that is reflected in the music. It was a collaborative effort, with so many factors, that made Ultraviolence this multifaceted masterpiece.

First time listening to Is This Happiness just now, and I can't help but imagine that this was how the original Ultraviolence was meant to sound like. Absence of guitars throughout the whole song, piano led like the Black Beauty demo version, but still subdued and fitting of the mood of the album. Like, what major changes happened to songs like West Coast, Shades of Cool, FMWUTT after Auerbach came into the picture? I wonder if thats happened with this new album. She was going one direction, but something, someone, made her change everything and rethink it all, which is why this new record is taking so long to appear?

https://www.instagram.com/p/BMvon3hjLZq/ Didn't even get a post notif this time, looks like she's becoming more active on instagram? Maybe she has more free time after finishing the album :creep:

The other woman was amazing, especially the last part (will speeeeeeeeeeeeeend her life aloooooooooooooooooone), beautiful

The entire Complex shoot was Brooklyn Baby to me

I'm torn, I don't know whether to think that she's trying to hype this concert by posting, or that it's been so long since she's done anything that she literally had to remind people that she's playing I'm hoping for the former She needs to put a Cohen cover for ldr5

OMG you're so right, the first few seconds mark the tone for the rollercoaster ride of the entire album Imagine how the first thing she ever sings us from the new album sounds like I'm getting emotional just thinking about it How do you all take in a new single/song? I do it in a dark room, all lights off, headphones in, close my eyes, on my bed propped up as soon as the song drops. Anyway, she hasn't posted on insta for ages now, she is definitely busy or just taking a long pause before beginning the tease of ldr5 I'm convinced, the next instagram post will be something to do with the new album. I said this once before and it ended up being that pic of lana posing with some painting, that was much later revealed to be in Emile Haynie's studio, aka evidence he was producing

I can't wait until we get a title so that true thematic speculation can begin I was reading the UV prerelease thread and one member said the title makes them think the album cover will be a pic of her face in black and white with 'Ultraviolence' in block capitals :toofunny: may I one day reach that level of foresight amen

She looks slim and radiant

Corona capital will be one to look out for, (vintage) kids

I mean, the Honeymoon colour scheme was basically this. I want something different, maybe these bright pastel yellows and greens to hark back to some bygone, colourful 70s Summer of Love era
