I was rewatching Lana’s livestream from the Blue Banisters release day, and when speaking in Spanish with @/lanaisababe, she mentions that she spent time in the northern part of Spain, saying “Del Norte”. Now, I know this is purely coincidental - but she said that she went to Spain in between summers at boarding school because she couldn’t come home to Lake Placid (and we can infer why from what she’s shared about her family of origin trauma and the context of other things discussed in that livestream). Following some of the songs on BB and what we know about Behind the Iron Gates, could it be that “Del Norte County” or “Del Norte” is indeed in some way related to LDR9, and perhaps it’s representative of her shedding more light on her familial and personal history (and perhaps the dynamics that preceded her time in Spain at fifteen)? There’s something significant about the north for Lana (northern Spain, Northern California, and the “north country” she referred to at the Variety Awards when speaking about her grandma: Lake Placid). Just some reaching for today lol - but I thought that was funny. I doubt it’s related, but it’s fun to think about!

I love that she’s amplifying the wonderful work being done here

Nobody talk to us, we’re manifesting

NorCal reminds me so much of the Canadian west coast (which is where I’m from) so whether legit or not, I will gladly await an album in that vein!

Does anyone think the recent songwriting is a good thing? I love Lana Del Rey. I think she’s a really interesting artist.

Favourite song: Honeymoon Best song: West Coast / Venice Bitch Least favourite song: Burning Desire Worst song: Don’t Call Me Angel Favourite album: Ultraviolence Best album: Honeymoon Least favourite album: AKA (but I still love it so much!) Worst album: I don’t think she has one

Rob’s favourite song is Florida Kilos. Based on that alone, I trust his use of the word epic to be true to its definition lol. I imagine something beautiful and cinematic and ornately-structured, especially with Drew’s orchestral arrangements in the picture. I’d love for sweeping strings in the vein of Honeymoon <3

Oh an epic project…I don’t take that word lightly, nor do I think that translates into a low-key sound. I think something grandiose is on the way!

It’s true about Honeymoon. I guess later is better than never, but I’m so glad it’s finally getting its flowers. Before very recently, though, it was a very small portion of fans on here that loved the record! I specifically remember me and like, 4 other members congregating in the HM thread about 4 or 5 years ago, and now it seems almost everyone adores the album! I love the Honeymoon renaissance. 💐

She is so gorgeous. I am living for the glamour and I love to see her off to the races 🐎 🖤

Off to the Races

The hair, the outfit, the nails, the lashes — what a baddie

Thank youuu, happy to be back! And I listened! It’s on repeat - I’m obsessed and I am 10000% wishing for this sound to come into full force

Aw lol you’re sweet to notice <3 work has been keeping me busy and away from the Internet, and I’ve missed catching up with everyone here!

Still her best album after all these years! <3 (though I love them all and they are all masterpieces)

I love this song and Lana’s rendition so much. It was just written for her, and I love to hear her dip back into her mid-lower register again. The production is GORGEOUS and feels like a natural maturation in sound at this point of her career, while containing sonic flashes from UV and HM’s use of saxophone. I really would love for her to flesh out this sound in a full-length project. Just beautiful all around <3

I would like either one or both

Looks like a guitar (or bass guitar) is a featured instrument!

The selfie of her with the pasta looks straight out of 2018 <3 Jack being back and Taylor (?!) being involved with something…I am excited!

I spy baby blue nails! 💅💙 excited for new music to come, I really hope something is coming for summer. The season wouldn’t be without her.

Happy first birthday to Chemtrails Over the Country Club! I love this record so much, it feels like home. Everything about it is special to me, from the surrounding joy of coming onto LB to discuss the record everyday in 2020, to the actual music itself. To me, this album is emblematic of longing for a life of sentimentality and domestic bliss while appreciating the beauty in the simplicity, and for that reason, it’s such a hallmark record. <3

She looks absolutely radiant. I love how she continues to dedicate her time to serving her community and underprivileged populations!

Oh I totally agree! I love them both <3 the plants cover is perfect — so amazing to have both and to now put another image to the song!

That photo is so iconic. It’s candid and fun, and feels like a snapshot of a very carefree time - which is perfect for the bittersweet nostalgia of Venice Bitch

I live for her photo dumps! Happy to see how life looks for her lately
