I can’t believe she is coming to Pittsburgh I’m so blessed 

well your dad is a local sadly

I was talking to my dad about her once and he was like “you mean that one hit wonder girl” and it’s so frustrating when people don’t look past the one thing an artist is well known for to see the absurdly wonderful artistry they have displayed apart from that. That being said he is the same man who thinks of bjork as that angry Icelandic singer who wore a swan dress as a stunt so he can’t be helped.

Drag me for saying this but I feel like MAYBE this release subtly indicates she doesn’t care that much about this song anymore. I enjoy it, and it will probably be the version of this song I listen to most frequently from this moment unto eternity, but it kinda feels incomplete without a bridge, and it’s abbreviated structure feels largely influenced by modern viral music trends. Ocean Boulvard was any thing BUT modern viral music trends so this being so makes me wonder if she’s kinda over it? Which I wouldn’t blame her for considering it’s been leaked and listened to for a while. There’s less of an anticipation for folks 2 hear it because most people who are into her already have. 
 
This isn’t to say she’s never cared about it because it’s a very nice song, but ya know. 

We were BORN TO DIE
We visited PARADISE
We survived his ULTRAVIOLENCE
We went on our HONEYMOON
We have a LUST FOR LIFE
We watched NORMAN FUCKING ROCKWELL!
We had a QUESTION FOR THE CULTURE
We walked through the door past the open concept and saw VIOLET BENT BACKWARDS OVER THE GRASS
We played it cool under the CHEMTRAILS OVER THE COUNTRY CLUB
We painted our BLUE BANISTERS
We asked DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE’S A TUNNEL UNDER OCEAN BLVD
 
And now we suffer in the LDR10 PRE-PRE-RELEASE THREAD!!!!! LITTLE FUCKERS UNITE!!!!!!!!!

The Kate Bush cover is actually really cute. It’s a serve.

It’s gorgeous. When that choir comes in the first time it’s euphoric. 

I hope it’s country only because that’d be a nice change in sound 

no 

It’s gorgeous. When that choir comes in the first time it’s euphoric.

Her live vocals have been on POINT so I’m excited to see what she’s laying down in the studio

I really want this album to be witchy like candy necklace but elevated

I actually disagree with this take, Candy Necklace is, I think, her most unique panio-driven song. It has that "weird" (I use that term positively) and cinematic vibe that's been absent on her past few albums. I would take more of that energy on future records. 

Agree. Ocean Boulevard is great and deserves its time. An AKA release wouldn’t interfere too much so I’d be hoping for that, though tour + unreleased seem more likely. 
 
I’ll listen to an unreleased collection from her, but honestly it’s got a lot less appeal to me than AKA. AKA has a mystique to it where the unreleased songs (at least the ones voted for by the masses) are just nice Lana pop songs for the most part. Like Hollywood’s Dead is great and I think a melancholy re-recorded version would be really gorge but she’d never do that and the version that exists just has weird dated production. 

I don’t want LDRX bc i think that needs to be a big moment and have it’s own year tbh. I also think OB is a grower album and will continue becoming a sleeper hit over 2023-2024 (espc. if it gets a Grammy nom). 

We love to throw the word *witchy* around here like there’s no tomorrow but I feel like “I inside the old year dying” is actually a nouveau witch classic. 
 
also stories from the city stories from the sea is my fav of hers
