Beautiful Loser

I see that I have to go through this thread over the weekend and sort things out... R.I.P. to my weekend study time.

Hey guys, please don’t bring drama happening outside of LanaBoards to LB! And, just a reminder, please don’t share links of songs you can purchase or stream legally! I’m not too familiar with Melanie’s discography but after lurking in here every now and then, I understand that those links lead to her unreleased stuff so you should be okay. Just a reminder in general!

I’M SHOOKETH Omggg this is such a surprise, I’m so happy!

I put on my earbuds, turned the volume up and now I could hear what Mike said about his work with Lana lol, it wasn't easy. xP

Blue Banisters, dropping July 4th 2025!!

So, I'm just thinking as I'm having my lunch break... Lust For Life, the album, should never have been released. I don't say this because it's my least favorite album by Lana, but because I really think she had something going on with her initial idea. She described the album as "retro-futuristic", and you can hear some elements of that space-retro-yet-modern sound she looked for in some of the songs. I just think it's a shame she didn't work more on that concept, or maybe she just got stuck and couldn't work more on it. Anyway, I think we can hear that sound in the demo versions of LFL (although they didn't really go anywhere - I guess that's why they're left as demos), Love demo (just ignore the dramatic intro drums) and final version, 13 Beaches, Heroin, Get Free, Best American Record demo, Yosemite. I'm talking about that open-space sound, like the music is something larger and her voice is just... in that large, vast space. I think, if she had kept that concept and kept working on it, the album would've turned out a lot better. More cohesive, at least. No Cherry, no White Mustang (well, okay, it can stay although it's like her most boring song ever, the instrumental matches with that sound I described), no Daisy Chains Summer Bummer, no political tracks... It think it would've been another gem in her discography. Like another Honeymoon, a bit different and slow maybe but still good. Like... imagine this: 1. Lust For Life 2. (Young & in) Love 3. 13 Beaches 4. White Mustang 5. BAR 6. Yosemite 7. Heroin 8. Get Free Wouldn't that have been nice?

Aww hang in there, I'm sure she'll update her instagram soon! Besides, it'll be fun to see if something really will happen next week, don't you guys think so too?

Yo I haven't been in here the past 4-5 days or something, have I missed anything since Black Out Zone hinted that the era will start next week?

Thanks :3

I made my phone a lil more personal (The circle mark is the Crest of Gautier from Fire Emblem: Three Houses because I love the character who bears it so much lol)

@gasstationkween @melodrama Hey hey, no fighting, please!

I forgot about Rosalía the other day. Was reminded of her when the radio played Malamente.

Me too! The change felt a bit out of place at first but it turns into such a nice melody and now I really like it.

@Venice Peach Yay, welcome to the thread!

It's so funky with the bass and summery with the synth noises! The instruments sound so good that I'm not really paying attention to the lyrics at all lololol, hold on, I need to listent to it one more time...! Yooo wait, I completely forgot this song is like 6 minutes long! LOL "we can go out to a friend's house and get stooooned" I did not expect to hear that xP The second half is really chill, maybe they actually got high? x) It ends beautifully.

It wasn't quite what I meaned... if you know what I mean.

Nope, I clearly hear "Stay on the path, Sylvia Plath".

I'll have to go through the recent pages and sort out the spam. In the meantime, please try to keep it minimal! Like salvatore and many other users say every now and then, it can be hard to find information when there's lots of spam and posts that don't belong in this thread in between the pieces of info. So please do your bests and try to stay on topic!

I just noticed that their official store is updated with new merch https://store.inhaler.band/

Mystery song from last night was Who’s your money on?, their new single dropping tonight!!

Definitely, this feels very surreal in a sense! I didn't believe her when she said we'd get the album in June because a) she seemed to be mad (and she had a right to be) and b) knowing Lana, we can't trust release dates until it's really official, haha. But then she goes ahead and posts a video snippet, a new album release date and BoZ starts saying the era will start soon. I would never have guessed this when Chemtrails just got out!

Blue Banister single release on May 21st and album preorder on the same day, album release in July, let’s manifest

This is so surreal that I feel dizzy just trying to imagine it

I can already see the articles coming in... "The Summertime Sadness singer Lana Del Rey dropped a new single earlier today after being heavily criticized for a her "Question for the Culture" Instagram post a year ago and wearing a mesh mask during an ongoing pandemic."

BoZ saying something about the era starting in two weeks? (week of May 17-23)
