I need a new slower dark depressing album.

Guns & Roses is excellent, it might actually be one of my favorites on Ultraviolence. That chorus hits every single time 

Wildflower Wildfire is still the best song and I am not even mad. The song is a blockbuster. It's epic. Like the soundtrack to the best movie ever made. Ugh. 

That was me and it was literally the best moment of my entire life. I still haven’t recovered. I didn’t want to post about it here bc I was embarrassed about how I look, but since it’s here… Lana is seriously the best.

Wanderlust out now 

Hi, this is my first time starting a topic (took me a good while to figure out how to share photos on here, haha), but I just wanted to share something I made recently: I got a myself a custom lyrics book printed for Ultraviolence as it has always bothered me that the official one doesn't include the full lyrics. I designed it using Photoshop and I know it's nothing fancy but I really enjoyed putting it all together and I'm pleased with how it has come out. (Want to add a quick thanks to everyone in the Resources thread for researching and sharing all the official fonts they could find. That thread was seriously so helpful! Oh, and the Lyrics thread, obviously very useful as well.)

I'm currently working on a second book for Honeymoon, using a lot more of my own photos this time. I've nearly finished it, just need to work a few more things out but I'll update this post when I'm done and it arrives.

Anyway, feel free to critique/tell me ways I can improve on any elements for next time, I know some of the black and white photos didn't print so well so I'm trying to avoid using those in the future. Really pleased I finally found a company that prints images on the spine though, so the spine matches the front cover.

 
 
 
 
 

 




Also here's a preview of one spread in the Honeymoon book (unfinished, I need to change the title colour and finish the transparency on the flower, etc.):

While Lana Del Ray (commonly known as AKA) wasn’t Lana’s first studio album -- that honor goes to Sirens -- it was her debut on a record label, and her first album to be sold commercially. AKA’s history was turbulent, which probably owes to much of the mystery and misinformation that surrounds the album today:
 
 
As noted above, the formation of AKA brought about many demos and outtakes that didn’t make the final cut, including Lizzy’s collaborations with producer Steven Mertens. Below is a helpful guide to the AKA demos, along with information on unused tracks recorded with both Mertens and David Kahne:
 
 
Lana’s promotion of her music during the AKA era included interviews, frequent live performances, and perhaps most distinctively, the creation of self-assembled music videos for most of the tracks on the album, much like the “Video Games” visuals that would propel her to stardom in 2011. Below are a selection of these videos, plus relevant fan creations: 
 
 
 
Lastly, here are some helpful links for further info and exploration of AKA:

it might be my favorite off of ultraviolence

it made me feel like a god
vs 
i am my only god 

Being a Lana stan is the weirdest ride. 
 
The way you start by stanning a woman who clearly understands what it's like to be dark and messed up...
 
 
...and then one day you find yourself staying up late to watch a cat lady in a grey twinset and pearls sitting in her Magnolia Farm by Chip n' Joanna house, singing a Jesus Christmas song and an earnest heteronormative love ballad.
 
AND YOU LOVE IT.  

you'll never flop alone 

Chemtrails, white lines 
Flew over the sky you know it made my eyes burn 

In continuing my "Lana albums as cassettes" series, I'm excited to share the one for Paradise! I really love how this one came out and hope you all do too!
 

I've seen from some of the design accounts I follow on instagram, VHS or cassette tape edits for artists albums. So I wanted to take my own stab at it and decided to do it for NFR. I worked on this over the past couple days and it was honestly pretty challenging, but also super fun! Some songs were really hard to make visuals for. My favorites are the HIAB and MAC cassettes. Hope you guys like it!  
 

imagine if Ms Woolridge Grant had just not made her infamous insta post... a shame
