beautiful and sweet are nothing alike, not sonically or lyrically 

I feel like if 24 was on James Bond people would have got more attention.

Jack talks a bit about Ocean Blvd in a new interview.

Tell us about how you approach vocal recording. Do you have a typical approach that you use across multiple projects or is it completely different every time?
 
“It’s different for everyone. It's based on the context of what's happening. For someone like Lana del Rey, there's a very specific vocal treatment that we carried through her entire recent album. Whereas for other people, there could be different treatments for different songs.
 
“Lana’s a good example of someone who when I record her, we're just grabbing that moment. It has to be documented from that moment. We don't do overdubs, we don't come in a month later and do more vocals, because it's happening there. So the vocal tone needs to reflect that. The vocal tone has to have a level of the room within it. Not a room mic, but even just in terms of how we're compressing, or where we're placing her, there has to be enough feeling of the space.

We'll really pray for you, Kathy.

Someone recorded the Aug 16 performance including Cinnamon and made it into a playlist, really decent audio lots of amazing vocals served throughout the performance 

Her Daphne Blake era

I love listening to this album in full, but also in order of how we heard things during the era, which was Honeymoon, High By The Beach, Terrence Loves You, MTWBT, then the rest of the album in order. The experience was so strange. I had no idea what to expect. This was when nothing in Lana's discography was "oh that sounds familiar" yet, and everything was shiny brand new.

We'll really pray for you, Kathy.

Absolutely. Anything other than selling out for some radio hit that Lana never chased to begin with. If she wanted to be a pop girl, she would be one with ease. She’s more concerned with laying the groundwork for a legacy big enough to inspire her contemporaries and future generations to come. 

i think lana is the last person we need to worry about selling out unless she is influenced by someone around her
 
she is and always has been authentic to what she wants to make (minus born to die and some single decisions from her label) and she is basically given free reign to make what she wants 
 
if she wants to make a slutty bop, it’s what she wants, and i will eat that up. equally, some of her ballads are my favourites, like sweet which is one of my favourites on OB
 
i just like whatever i like, and there has not been a single song she has released that i don’t like (minus GAR lol). BUT if i could choose i would LOVE a revisit to the huge lush soundscapes of paradise and honeymoon with jazzy undertones or rock elements like ultraviolence. i do miss the big production

let's test for that lack of taste mama

Personally speaking (and I say this respectfully) I get kinda bored reading the same comments about wanting Lana to get back to doing “bops” (which I don’t really understand as she’s rarely ever done them in a conventional way) specially because it can become tiresome and superficial once you see those opinions spread across many threads. However I understand that to each their own but…
 
What I miss from Lana is the cohesion of something like Honeymoon, still her best produced album to date that included a crazy variety of instrumentation that all fit together in unison to serve her vision of how she wanted the album to feel and sound like. It also operated in a soundscape that to this day is still very hard for me to define: is it jazz? is it “muddy trap” like she described it at the time? is it bluesy? is it all of the above? I feel like with Honeymoon she took such a risk by incorporating all these different genres into one piece that sounds both so modern and so timeless and evocative at once. A lot of people say going from BTD to UV was really bold (which I 100% agree with) but going from UV to HM was just as ambitious and dare I say the moment where she proved to me - without any shred of doubt - that she could do it all. I miss that feeling of unpredictability and atmosphere she created with her albums up until NFR (that one included, as I feel NFR is far more cohesive and coherent than some people give it credit for). I miss the surprise, the early shock, the “how the hell is she going to pull this off?”.
 
To hell with bops and radio hits (that a Lana fan even verbalizes this 12 years into her career is absurd). Give me a record that’s so mysterious, intricate and so seemingly distant from my own comfort zone that it forces to peel back its layers for years to come in order for me to realize it’s always been as close to my heart and my experiences as humanly possible. I adore OB to death (my third favorite album from her) but I really do miss feeling the production and instrumentation making the stakes feel higher and bolder.

Outstanding pictures.
 
Had never seen them before. Thank you for sharing!

The fact you have to pay for this shit 🤡 Didn’t Lana say her thoughts were free or something? 

All of us right now:

Weren't they in a studio during Tropico era?
 
Edit: i checked out and they were! with Barrie too, I wonder if they actually recorded something and if they did...it's unleaked ig 

And Blue Banisters, please <3

I'm still at how Jack snagged Margaret Qualley
At least they won't have to buy toys if they have children because Jack can give them his Fisher-Price keyboard, drums and trumpet to play with
