I woke up to these photos and they’re just so warm and she looks amazing. She always kills it with the blue jeans + white shirt combo and the Gucci shades complement her nail and hair colour so nicely. Living for this, everything is perfect about it <3

The new B&W background image on her site actually has this 90s grunge feel to it!

Awww. You’re too kind. I can say the same about you - love the positivity and kindness and light you bring to the forum. You stand for what keeps it alive as well <3

I still think there’s a chance the record will come out on July 4th. Given the hushed nature of this release cycle, I think it would be fitting to just release the record with no formal lead-up other than the 3 singles we already got. Unpopular opinion, but I quite like the “purist” approach to releasing music where you just put things out and say nothing else. I think it’s a way of letting the music speak for itself and that’s certainly fitting for the thematic content of the songs we’ve heard from the album. Don’t get me wrong, I love photoshoots and interviews and other goodies, but I am okay with her not doing anything because the music lives on without it!

I liked the new song! It was very light and summery! Can’t wait to hear what else she has up her sleeve

LOVE the new singles and video! I objectively liked the songs on Love + Fear from a place of auditory pleasure, but I just didn’t feel as connected to them thematically and stylistically, so I didn’t really keep up with Marina as much as I did with her first three records, but this next album is really shaping up to be amazing. The writing, melodies, and production are all killer, and they’ve reminded me of why I felt so drawn to Marina in the first place back about 10 years ago can’t wait to hear the full record tonight! <3

What is the opposite of a hater? A lover? I think I am one of those.

Whaaaat I had no idea! I totally thought everyone in this thread was going to some third-party site and resizing it LOL! Omg that’s game-changing. Thank you, legend!!

Omg thank you so much for resizing it! <3

I think this is really cute and has a *lot* of potential on this site, especially, LOL. dontbeajerkdontcallmeataxi.gif

This record brings me immense happiness. I don’t know if it’s because I live on the west coast + lead a very west-coast-centric life (casual, relaxed, slow living, etc.) that is totally in line with the mood of the album, but I really feel a resonance with its entire essence. I know it’s a bit controversial to like this album on here, but I really do love it and think it was an amazing addition to Lana’s already consistently-superb discography at the time (her discography continues to be amazing and WILL continue to be as such!). Venice Bitch is my favourite song of all time and is a staple in Lana’s discography. The levels of simplicity and complexity that interact with each other throughout the song are beautiful. This whole record is art and is just so comforting to listen to. Love it just wanted to shower a bit of appreciation on this record as I really was reminded of how much I love it today.

Lana said the album is coming on July 4th. At the end of the day, an individual is the only one responsible for their own frustration about an album release. Maybe for some people, being on LB and in this thread is like watching paint dry - I think the entitlement and claim that Lana has inflicted "emotional abuse" upon people really says more about them than it does about her. So if you really feel that way, here's a friendly reminder:

Ugh she looks killer. Love her white hoodie and jeans are always a classic LDR staple. Her hair also looks so good and I’m here for a blonde comeback! <3 summer queen indeed.

What does this even mean?

I think BoZ indirectly confirmed that LYTAN/RCS is on BB - he is the one who told us that they were the same song, and it wasn’t one of the 12 tracks from the Chemtrails masters that people got ahold of last summer (the missing 12th track only could have been Dealer, as we know). How else would he have had access to it? Through Blue Banisters.

Love this! It looks amazing, thank you so much for making this and sharing it <3

Sad Girl vs. Tulsa Jesus Freak

One of her best songs, absolutely

Mike said “you all have at least one song on the new album” in his interview with Anthony Fantano. So I’m wondering if that was Wildflower Wildfire and the rest of Blue Banisters was done with Gabe Simon and Zach Dawes. Since Mike said they’re planning on working together for a while, maybe they’re now recording for the next album. Lana did confirm to that fan in Texas that the album was finished and she was working on “new music.”

Here’s Sage’s story -

I know, right! I feel like this album is shrouded in so much mystery, more than her previous records - that makes it so much more exciting of a wait because it truly will be a surprise! and yes, everything’s all good! To be honest, I can’t decide on a profile picture that represents the vibe I want right now, I am so indecisive, I keep changing it thank you for checking in though, that’s super sweet of you I love your new pfp btw <3

I think her most contemplative album is coming - and that’s saying a lot because if you could sum up Lana’s entire lyrical sensibility in one word, one of your options would be “contemplative.” How surreal is it that we’re (allegedly) 5 weeks away from hearing it?!

The MTWBT video is quite stunning! The cinematography is some of her best and complements the song and overall aesthetic of Honeymoon quite well I like that it’s in b&w - truly lives out the noir feel that she said she was inspired by when she first announced it.

So well-said, as always! I also love how her breathy backing vocals are added only on "IVs" - it's truly magical.

People blatantly trashing the new songs and calling it “constructive criticism” can’t even be taken seriously, especially when the same people were dismissing Honeymoon as a “snooze-fest” back in 2015 and would say “Lana needs to stop working with Grandpa Nowels” but now beg for him to come back. It’s cyclical and the lack of self-awareness is appalling. Be respectful or leave. You don’t have to like every single piece of music, but you also don’t have to disrespect the people making the music. They’re human too!
