God I abhor a zionist and their constant hostage parroting. That handful of hostages wouldn’t have existed if Israel never occupied Palestinian land in the first place, fuck them lmaooooooooooooooooooo

If they aren’t well it’s bc Israel bombed them along with over 40k Palestinans

I've probably posted this here already but I keep losing it everytime I need to add this to my Ultraviolence timeline.
It's Neil Krug talking about his shoots for Ultraviolence and I think he is specifically talking about this image?

“I was imagining a sort of black-and-white, 16mm-looking nightmare. Almost in the vein of The Honeymoon Killers from 1970, or the original sixties Night of the Living Dead but with a beautiful, brooding heroine as the hero. What if Lana replaced Catherine Deneuve in Repulsion... what would that look like? For me, the whole project was made in that spirit, and I shot tons of black-and-white imagery to suggest that kind of iconography. I kept all my colour imagery for the more fairy tale-like themes. Dorothy/Wizard of Oz vibes, but with Dorothy smoking a cigarette in a bed of hydrangea.”

Omg onanist 
 
I haven’t listened to preachers daughter but I’m loving perverts

The comments on her post are pissing me off. Someone whose latest post on their page is them in a folklore cardigan complaining that there’s no lyrics and that the album is trash. Obviously this album isn’t for everyone, but you don’t get to discover Ethel after seeing American Teenager on TikTok and then dictate the music Hayden releases  The entitlement is so crazy. And rude.
 
I love this project. It won’t be a constant listen for me as it’s very heavy, but it’s beautiful and thickens the Ethel Cain atmosphere. I feel like this music is more in line with the visuals of ‘Ethel Cain’, maybe even more so than Preacher’s Daughter that I feel in retrospect lacked a bit of ‘roughness’ in some of the tracks. (Although I listen to that album daily). Amber Waves, Punish, Perverts are all spectacular and when I listened in the dark last night I was terrified.
 
If you are shocked that this is the music of the album I don’t know what to say to you, because it was going to be this all along. I think this is such a bold move but also a necessary one for Hayden, as she is sharpening her vision and storytelling rather than diluting it as a result of her popularity. It’s not commercial, but at the same time I hate to see these basic ass chart music bitches in her comments telling her it’s bad!! THIS MUSIC ISNT FOR YOU!!!!!  

THE MOANING AND GROANING NEAR THE END OF HOUSOFPSYCHOTICWMN??

take ur 4/4 time signatures and go touch some grass bye

you lana stans need to find occupation elsewhere 

When I read the post I was half asleep and also the top comment I saw was the one I addressed. Maybe I exaggerated but… the point still stands. Of course people can dislike the record. I have no issue with that
 
However I take issue with the insufferable people who have swanned in recently and are in the comments saying stuff like ‘Ethel I love you but wtf is this’ etc. It’s narrow minded and entitled. I just wanted to give my two cents on that on a public forum  
 
As a fan of Hayden I’m elated to see the response in her comments, I just so happened to see several ones which provoked me to write my post.

friendly reminder ambient and drone are genres of music

oh so i never learn just turned 10! i only listened to it in 2016 and im glad i took so long to hear otherwise i think i would have crumbled 
title track one of the best song all time
 

I knew that Lykke had released a lot of 7" records at the start of her career, but wasn't aware that a few had alternative versions of songs with the same title.
Only today, 13 years into being a fan I finally managed to find an acoustic version of Until We Bleed (from the Tonight single), and a demo (?) of Time Flies (from the Little Bit single)
 
It's now amongst the other "debris"
 
Happy new year Little Li-ckers!

MAC, VB, Hope, DT, The greatest: all released
 
HTD: performed in full
 
TNBAR: leaked
 
CG, LS, HIAB, NFR, California: snippets
 
it is so funny when you put it out in front of you 

ok i've always loved this song but i just had a nice big beautiful cry to it
 
 
this is a MASSIVE overshare but my grandma passed away in june 2022. she was the glue of the family and the second oldest / first to pass of her nine siblings - we have a really huge family and we were all really close! annoyingly my grandma didn't have a will written but my mum did know her wishes, so it was up to my mum, the eldest of her other siblings, to be in charge of my grandma's money, her belongings, her house, etc. she wanted to do right by my grandma - her mum - and fulfil my grandma's last wishes. in the process of this, it was revealed that someone in our family (i won't say who, just in case  ) had been manipulating, scheming and taking money unethically from my grandma while she was still alive - money that was meant to be left for members of her family as a goodbye gift. they had also stolen things from her and acted wrongfully after her passing. when my mum confronted this person about this, they retaliated by spreading vicious lies and essentially tearing our family apart, leading everybody to turn on my mum and myself. we've had nobody else for a long time. we were pushed out. the thing is, though, all my mum and i ever wanted to do was do right by my grandma and fulfil her wishes. we lost her and then we lost everybody else, all because we wanted to do the right thing. but this other family member is extremely convincing and believable - it's not hard to see why people would believe them over us.
 
i promise this does relate to the song, let me explain! sometimes i wondered - and i still do - if we were doing the right thing at all, if we should both have just sucked it up and been complacent in order to keep our family since we lost someone we loved so much. when lana sings "three white butterflies to know you're near", it's like a gut punch every single time - when my grandma died, i just kept seeing white butterflies, like, more than i have ever seen in my life before. it always felt like a symbol or a hello from her. when we left her house for the very last time, after all of the stress and the fighting and the isolation, i stood in her old bedroom asking for a sign, a goodbye, something - lo and behold, a white butterfly came and landed right on the window! it stayed there until i left! "god if you're near me give me [...] a map to know your vision, impart on me your wisdom" sounds like a plea i've made so many times, asking some higher power to just give me guidance, to let me know if we're doing the right thing, to give me some strength or knowledge to help me thru.
 
"i have good intentions even if i'm one of the last ones" is so pertinent to the situation too. i almost want to scream it to all of my family that don't understand. our intentions are good and pure and honest - even if we are some of the last people of her family line to have those intentions. people seem to think that my mum is forcing my hand and making me 'side' with her - they think "it took somebody else" to make me honest, noble, genuine, caring. but they're wrong! i'm doing the right thing because it's the right thing, not because of any petty family drama or rivalries. there's no greed involved, no desire to have anything, no care about anything material, and it's certainly not taken anybody else to make me want to honour my grandmother's wishes. the earnestness and hopefulness combined with the feeling of being misunderstood and ostracised is reflected in both this song and my life.
 
the way lana begs for her grandfather to watch over her dad while he's deep sea fishing takes me back to such a beautiful memory i have. it was just after my grandma had passed but before any of the fighting began. my family were doing what they could to support each other. my uncle took his rickety old boat and took my grieving nephew out fishing in the sea. my nephew was struggling so much - i think he may have been only 14 at the time, and he was extremely close to my grandma so, naturally, devastated by her passing - and i remember worrying that he'd be okay on this fishing trip. then he came back, sunburnt as all hell, smiling the most beaming, beautiful grin. my uncle showed me pictures he'd taken - my nephew had stripped off, jumped out the boat and gone swimming in the ocean with all the boys, they had an incredible time, he was happy, the weight of the loss was lifted from him for a moment. i remember thinking how beautiful it was. how gorgeous to see him with his family and in nature, having fun and living life. how happy my grandma must have been watching them from above. that was the sort of stuff she loved - the family getting together and embracing the more carefree, naturalistic parts of life.
 
this song takes me back to that memory. it makes me sad how things have changed, but i still smile when i think about it. this song reflects exactly how i feel - confused, misunderstood, but adamant that i have good intentions. the way this song sounds hopeful while dealing with its subject matter is something i carry with me; i really hope that one day they'll understand and my family will have me and my mother back.
 
anyway, that was super long, but it felt nice to pay tribute to this song and get off my chest exactly why i love it so much!! thanks for giving me the space to let that all out, lanaboards  <3 xx

Expect one song to have a beat of something reminiscent of trap, hip hop or trip hop even if it’s very muted in the background too- this is a definite on every project except UV.

I can buy that theory, but I don't subscribe to the theory, mentioned many times here, that the last song on every Lana album predicts the thematic, lyrical, and musical direction of the next album. 
 
Since TRPWS was put together over some four years, I don't see how OB's colorings could influence it in a major way. Since I'm not an OB fan for the most part, I hope it doesn't. 

The way she’s releasing this on my daughters birthday is such a slay 

The fact that the pic is blurred😭

I know it’s lana but why is the pic 144p
