theviolence

it's crazy how Born to Die and Ultraviolence shaped the life of a bunch of millennials and some gen z's... This album made me fr

i don't how to properly dedicate an entire, full-fledged post about my love for ultraviolence, despite how much i do love born to die and honeymoon, it really is my favorite lana del rey album besides sirens and AKA, the fact that it's just so hard to have one favorite tells you how strong and wonderful her discography and her artistry is  ultraviolence is a magnificent album with an incredible, irresistibly dark atmosphere... conjuring vivid, alluring images of late-summer storms, beaches, cigarettes, expensive cologne, cult leaders, dark eyeliner, and leather... songs like cruel world, west coast, and brooklyn baby will pull you in like waves of the ocean, not letting you escape, songs like pretty when you cry, fucked my way up to the top, and flipside crash down dry, hot, and hard like bright thunder against a black sky... and songs like old money, guns and roses, and is this happiness leave you in a smokey, intriguing haze of sorrow, fear, introspection, and nostalgia... the perfect album for sweltering, hot summers with stormy, gray skies    

GODLI XCX, THE ARTIST WHO JUST RELEASED THE ALBUM BRAT WHICH CURRENTLY HOLDS A 95 ON METACRITIC.

I think Ocean Blvd is basically a fully fleshed out version of Blue Banisters 

Tonight, Lana Del Rey met Elle, her friends, and other fans while at V12 in Atlanta, Georgia.

9. her favorite food is oysters
10. cats AND dogs

The way her hair and makeup are done is reminding me soooo much of 2012 liiiiiiike ur telling me these aren’t from the same day??? Minus the colour of course but omg she truly doesn’t ageeee x

like you can’t tell me she doesn’t look exactly like she did in 2012 here this is insane. Like wtf happened?!? All of a sudden she looks younger than ever omg

The second photo is reminding me of this Naomi Shon photo 

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
