Mel’s Drive-In in LA has unveiled a new chocolate cookies and cream shake in honour of Chemtrails! This is the third collaboration they’ve done with Lana in honour of her records! https://www.instagram.com/p/CMlEuxpHmGF/?igshid=evmnlom8i6cf The photo appears to be from last year, since she’s blonde! Either that, or she dyed it again, but I’m thinking the former is more likely!

I did! My status was updated today to say it’s supposed to be delivered tomorrow! It just shipped today, and I was surprised at how fast the estimated time of arrival was, so we’ll see if it gets here by tomorrow! -
Ugh, yes! I firmly believe it’s rooted in misogyny, even though in the past I know Lana has said she believes it’s not, noting that women have discredited her too, but I think those women also have internalized misogyny. I have never seen a male artist’s authenticity questioned. Period. People get too wrapped up in the looks of things and never want to look any further than what strikes them instinctually. And sometimes that comes in handy in situations of danger, but in this case it does not. I am beyond happy that Chemtrails is being met with positive reviews, but it’s so easy to see through them. They love her, and then they hate her/hate on previous endeavours of her. Luckily she sees through it all, though!

I know, right? As she should be! I would be too! imagine being in the game for 10+ years, putting your life and love out there more vulnerably than what is considered socially acceptable in the music industry, being ridiculed for it for 7 years, and then finally be respected for your work only to later have it discredited as a mere “costume”. I feel like reviewers say tactless s*** like this all the time in efforts to sound intelligent or to have what they would consider a “thought-provoking opinion” when in reality it reads as pretentious and rude. ;(

Is anyone else slightly put-off by the nature of these reviews? Like yes, it’s amazing that Chemtrails is meeting such critical acclaim, but I really dislike how all these major publications feel the need to discredit her past albums in order to make the case for this one. Good journalism doesn’t need to bash something else in order to make the argument for whatever it is that is being written about. Appreciating Lana’s growth is one thing, but dismissing past albums as “confused” seems like a cop-out.

Love the sound of that bestie! I will be wearing my Yosemite shirt (yes, I ordered the same one Lana had on in the promo pics for this record ), and I will just spend the day getting ready for this album by being one with myself in nature! I love the idea of wearing certain clothes or doing little acts that are in line with the feel of this record as we approach its release. Just feels like a nice good luck ritual! <3

I thought so too! I got them all, but I’m probably most excited for the gray one! There’s something smoky, smooth, but also warm about it that really matches the cover art and overall feel this record is shaping up to have. -
Maybe the album was made private on iTunes for a minute because they’re updating credits? We obviously have known since October that Nikki Lane is on BUS but there was no “(feat. Nikki Lane)” in the title of the song on iTunes - much like how For Free had no featurings listed at first until it was updated to include Zella and Weyes! Everything you say is just so true! <3

Oh wow the gatefold. The record sleeve with that sepia-toned monotone shot of them all the vinyl! That’s gorgeous! <3 thank you so much for sharing! I cannot wait to receive this one now! -
Both are absolutely beautiful! The dark green is so rich and it totally matches the naturalistic feel of the artwork but I ultimately went with the cream vinyl since it reminded me of the linen paper she typewrote the poems on for the book. I liked that synergy between the pages of the book and the colour of the vinyl, them both being mediums from which the words breathed!

Your local Sunrise Records should be getting some in! I called mine and read them the item number (602435534039) and they reserved one for me! Because of the pandemic and their supplier being from the UK, though, I was told that they’re likely not going to get it until the end of March. Hopefully that helps!
