this pretty much settles it for me, Jared is Jack or Laura in disguise

The only top tier piano-driven song Jack has worked on is White Dress, if that's what he meant by magic then I'm perched. Otherwise, the rest is a wash.

Yay another piano-driven song by the most unimaginative piano player in all of Lis Angeles

"and I was playing piano latent to what she was singing"

"Lis Angeles"

Not yall already gatekeeping her... on LanaBoards of all places.

he's way too polite and PC for that lmfao. He's no "Dan Auerbach fighting with execs" for sure.

To each their own. I'll take Ultraviolence's so called "messy" production over the flat/understated production of certain other albums any day, at least Ultraviolence had bite, oomph and an identity. We'll see how LDR9's sound turn out.

I advise you to listen to Yola's debut album "Faraway Look". Thank you.

From what I recall from the interviews that were published in 2014/15, Dan said that "[they] fought a lot in the studio, but ended up dancing to the songs" and also he mentioned a lot of bullshit in regards to financing the album. People at Interscope hated what the album sounded like, so much so that they asked Adele's producer to chime in and he loved what he heard and then the execs ate shit up. Lana was ready to back down and change her tune, but Dan didn't back down and fought back.

Another thing Dan did (besides producing Lana's best album), he made Veinsineon's pussy throb. Naur it's true.

I think they just brought Paul Epworth along to gauge how he'd react... and, well, he loved what he heard and they ate shit up.

Also, it's funny when people say that Lana must've hated working with him or anything like that; while it's obvious there was tension, 8 years down the line, Dan still clearly respects Lana as an artist and LOVED recording Ultraviolence with her. Must not have been so bad, even if just on his end. They need to meet again.

To me that just cements my thought that when there is tension it gets your creative juices flowing. No need for a "yes man", making art with someone else isn't all rainbows & unicorns. Dan clearly views Lana as a creative and interesting artist and he really believes in her capabilities, hence why he pushed and did the most for Ultraviolence to be released and get the attention it deserved from her label. I stan and I want more.

Recording an album isn't always unicorns & butterflies, sometimes great things come out of tension. They would absolutely slay the studio again, I hope they work together again! Interview here.

Lonerism & Innerspeaker are more psych-rock and lowfi. I'm sure you'll find something in there for your liking.

I really didn't like The Slow Rush at first, and it took quite some time for me to warm up to some songs on that album, in fact I didn't start to enjoy some of them until I heard them live quite recently. Still, there is something about TSR that feels bland. Nothing will ever top Lonerism.

Love me a beach wedding.

I love her vibe in New York

That's actually really cool

Hard pass

I'm glad she looks like she's having fun with Nikki. Regardless of how you feel about country music, or Lana delving onto the country scene (or Nikki herself), she seems to be a positive influence in her life.

they've been married for some time now and Lana attended in 2018, so I think it's kinda moot
