What is going awn

Countdown says 13 mins ugh can't wait

I'm so tempted to say this'll sound exactly like nfr but, as experience has taught, this is never really the case w lana. Before we knew anything about them, we really thought lfl would sound the same as hm, that nfr would be reminiscent of lfl, etc etc Cocc might share elements with nfr but I do think it'll fundamentally shed any semblance of the surfy undertones on nfr and assume some other character (swapping the beach for the garden perhaps? Or going deeper into the desert, away from the ocean). I don't see her losing the laurel canyon singer-songwriter feeling, and I don't think cocc will be more polished or anything though. I think it'll be more heavy on the drums (basically I'm thinking something along the lines of Everytime the sun comes up by Sharon van etten, which is still desert-like but not surfy, kinda sardonic but soulful)

Does she even have another album coming? It feels like she's just going to drop singles forever and ever

She's gonna get dragged and think pieces will be written lol but who the fuck cares it affects the stans infinitely more than it would her, she's always been controversial

YES FUCK THEM!!!!! The reviews for NFR often rubbed me the wrong way because they were so often centred around the idea that "oh, Lana has finally stopped being the submissive, sad relationship singer, she's finally changed, finally spoken about the world outside of her own ultra feminine construction" etc , and its like, while she may be singing about the end of the world etc she is still all that she embodied before! And now she's affirming it hell yea fuck them do what you want lana I love that she didn't capitulate to the critics' new vision of her, because those nfr reviews all seemed to be like sighs of relief, as though this new lana is more palatable and thus this is who she is and ought to be and thank God she changed. But she's gonna continue making them uncomfortable. Love also that she called out the general bullshit reviews since 2010. ALSO love that she acknowledges she had a career in 2010 in other words implicitly acknowledging AKA (what if that's the album she's releasing in september she did also mention indian reservations too after all)

Same! I always imagined Talking Like an Answering Machine to sound like Complaint Department by Lykke Li

Thinking about how the freak demo bridge is so immediately reminiscent of the idea of a honeymoon with the devotion + escapism / desire to elope (marry me marry me, take a long vacation). It makes me wonder whether she formed the album concept with this in mind. As though, when conceiving of the album as being "Honeymoon", it was taking, or supposed to take, a more explicitly marital theme?

Where is she. WHERE IS SHE

I really think she could do a stellar cover of Fade Away and Radiate by Blondie She could use her lower register, have some light shimmering electric guitar in the background, and the song itself pulses with longing and nostalgia I just really want to hear her sing "dusty frames that still arrive die in 1955" with all that guitar It's so ominous too, I reckon she and sky ferreira could each do it real justice

Rich Lee posted a cut scene on his story + a lil bts

Wait this is all so beautiful and unexpectedly marvellous Reminds me of when chuck used to shoot her as lizzy doing the mundane, like smoking on the balcony or driving or that one where she's sitting on a stool in her messy kitchen

I love this it's so late 2000s

She also said she doesn't know what the next record sounds like, so I guess white hot forever is still pretty early in its development and hasn't caught a strong sonic direction yet

Bird world as a serious contender... Glad the superior album title won in the end. I wonder though if there's a song they didn't include called bird world that would've served as the title track / if some weird love song or nfr demo exists that was titled bird world

Oh, the livestream's almost on (in three hours)

I still can't believe we already have this title, what an experience

Among her greatest MVs

Holy hell... That was amazing

Just here to say how SPLENDID Bartender is... Stellar... Sumptuous... Sacred even... Such a highlight. Wow. So beautiful words can hardly explain the moments I'm wandering in right now Nfr as a whole is such such such a wonderful album. I listened to it in my garden and wrote this beautiful poem after this really frustrating period of writers/thinkers block. It works so well, I don't even think of it in terms of good song / bad song because I feel like they all carry each other and belong together. Even tnbar, it's not butchered at all. The htd intro caught me off guard but it really is a mood album and every song lends itself to this massive but subtle sentiment I even liked hiab... It just works. I wish the strings on nfr the song were more prominent but its very very nice anyhow Love song is so sweet The new fiily is a choice, the drums on the single version are far far better California is great but honestly my favourites right now are NFR, MAC, VB, FIILY, DT, BART T T TENDER, HIAB (omg) My rambling review

I can't believe Lana has become a pitchfork darling

Half the song is missing lmfao

Omg she mentioned uv and btd I love when she remembers

Genuinely believe a slightly reworked wayamaya would fit in perfectly somewhere between Venice bitch and doin time

I knew this would be the greatest akdjdkdkek
