Dark Angel

aw, it's okay if you aren't a huge fan of it, i just really like the hazy, mellow, retrospective vibe of the cover, i'm hoping that yosemite will be the same way, but it'll probably have a more optimistic, hopeful feel to it

imagine if yosemite was similar to this

my holy trinity, honeymoon, ldrakalg, & (hopefully) cotcc!

i'm happy to know that darla made a return this era... the cockpit lyric was too iconic

her "lithium" by evanescence is coming!

i honestly really hope ldr8 is announced after cotcc is released because i love being a part of a pre-release era, i love the sense of community <3 it's going to be so fun to speculate what kind of album she'll be cooking up for the next era... will she finally create a proper hawaiian glam metal album? a psychedelic space rock album? an experimental grunge album? it's a mystery!

8 DAYS UNTIL WHITE DRESS!

g&r might just be my favorite track off of ultraviolence

it's a lust for life outtake recorded in 2015

lana del ray a.k.a lizzy grant

my holy trinity is... ldrakalg, honeymoon, &... maybe cotcc? i don't really have a holy trinity but i'm hopeful that cotcc will be a definitive favorite

i know i've said this before but i'm manifesting this vibe for wild at heart

regardless of how you feel about nfr, she sure does cause a lot of conversation and we can't seem to stop bringing her up in this thread

don't be afraid of lanaboards

nfr was critically acclaimed because it was safe, plain & simple, that doesn't mean that it was a bad album, or a boring album, but it didn't feel as in-depth and nuanced as her previous work, it's obvious that she's maturing as an artist, which is great, but nfr didn't quite have the polarizing, in-depth feel that, let's say, honeymoon has, i'm feeling confident that cotcc will be more of an honest and impactful body of work like honeymoon, especially since she's expressed that she doesn't want to limit herself and her artistry

if it's something that's real for her, she should be able to do it, i'm excited to hear her "folk" and "country" work because i honestly prefer a naturistic, organic sound instrumentally and she's not going to keep making the same kind of music she did back in 2011, and i think it's really sweet that she's inspired by the mid-west / south, it doesn't bother me, even if she's rich and she's from l.a, also, she's done "folk" before, with her work on "sirens" so it's not like it's something she's never done before

@Eclipse can you confirm if she's saying "arkansas"?

i want to listen to the snippet and try to figure out what she's actually saying but it was taken off of youtube

definitely! and i feel like nature is incredibly spiritual, there's something so artistic and inspiring about it, i get a "into dust" by mazzy star vibe from yosemite intuitively, or maybe "oh say can you see" demo, very simple yet impactful, you envision the grand canyon, or a starry night in a field, and you feel at one with the world around you, i think yosemite is going to be similar to that

i'm hopeful about this album because it's inspired by the mid-west which is where i live, in a way, i feel like it's going to remind me of ldrakalg, which we all know is an album that i love and appreciate deeply, and i get a mid-west feel from queen of the gas station, oh say can you see, jump, etc. although i would also argue that ldrakalg has a broad and diverse sound and it could remind you of the ocean, a forest, the rural-south, and even a particular experience, such as driving alone at night, walking through the neighborhood, falling in love, or a psycedelic drug trip, and i wouldn't be surprised if cotcc has the same feel, lmlylaw is reminiscent of a snowy winter night, or a day at the beach, cotcc is reminiscent of a cool, summer morning, green grass, a peaceful, simple day-to-day life, but an underlying uncertainty, i intuitively feel like yosemite is going to end up being my favorite from this album because i feel like it's going to feel spiritual and it's going to be beyond a good, well-produced song, but it's also going to be something i can feel in my heart and my soul

there's already such a psycedelic quality to this album... maybe not sonically... but thematically and intellectually... yosemite is going to be a special song, it's going to reflect a calm, peaceful state of mind, lounging in the desert with somebody you love, despite the heat and the dry terrain, you let it be something to experience and something to find the beauty in, a kind of love and peacefulness that can only be measured by something a little less practical and a little more spiritual, but you can't just define it, but you can feel it and create something beautiful out of it...

happiness is a butterfly <3
