Peter Abbott this, Emily Holt that…Tessa DiPietro is the true star - remotely healing Lana’s laryngitis just minutes before showtime?! 

I enjoyed the cover but I will always have a bias/preference for shoegaze/dream pop  it did take me a couple of listens but it clicked - I think the production is very great. 
 
I think what I enjoy the most about it though is that it’s a more unique song for a Lana cover compared to Video Games, Young and Beautiful, Summertime Sadness, etc. I’m glad to hear that her more “deep cut” music is influenced a well known band in the shoegaze/alt 90s music scene.  
 
if you like the track, do check out their first album as it’s great (the track Kick the Tragedy and Winona are great). They’re also probably the most prominent American shoegaze band, which is pretty cool (most of them are from the UK). It was funny - I was listening to Winona recently and there’s a line: “Another record shop story that was born to die” 

90s shoegaze icons they don’t play… this is so random though. Having followed them on social media for a while, they don’t tend to do click bait teasing (plus they have no reason to mention Lana, they make such different music) which makes me think this is something legit? 
 
But they also haven’t mentioned anything about releasing a deluxe for their recent album (their first album since like 1992, listen to their song Winona if you want some American slacker sunshine shoegaze it’s so dreamy) so idk what this is even about 
 
They posted the snippet to their Spotify profile with the caption “…just days until…” so?????? Whatever it is we’re not waiting long to find out

well I think that they just used sample of white dress and that's it 

found this White Dress mention in a Spotify playlist from the band's official account (HARD LIGHT is their album which came out last Nov apparently)
 
maybe they reached out to her to let them sample it in a new song if they liked it so much 
 

yeah I played it on reverse and it seems to be White Dress but there's a piano and drums too. It seems to me they also chose the part where she sings 
Down in Orlando, I was only nineteen
Down at the Men in Music Business Conference

Shoegaze dream pop icons, dream pop lana is BACK 

i think we're over the cover conversation but i did an alt and i wanted to share cause i thought it was cute. i think i'm using it for the sessions idk
 

ill be kinda disappointed if the green cover ends up just being a placeholder... the concept is so good idec

You literally don't get it though.
The thing is, you're saying all of this as if she was stupid and didn't know how to make the text high-res, while she was making sure that it IS a pixelated generic font lol. 

I just ordered everything in that woman’s store help

Agree! As much as I wanted her to win just for the sake of it, I much prefer her NOT being internalised by the industry… they’ve committed so many sins against her, they cannot sanitise their reputation by awarding her AOTY once. She can continue to live on the outskirts, challenging the industry instead of doing her best to remain in its graces (like so many other artists do). They’ll never get her 

Next album needs to be Carrie inspired, title track MV she sets the Grammys on fire… Taylor can be the teacher she spares… sounds like Hole, Live Through This ofc… post-Lasso world I’m dreaming of you…

Lana Del Rey, Alvvays, Caroline Polacheck… Grammy losers <3

yup yup not saying I'm happy about it but it's kind of alt girl legend status when you think about it... Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Björk, PJ Harvey never won a grammy either

Every lifetime legend that has never won a Grammy… Lana Del Rey you will always be famous!!
