This is her grown-up "Sirens." Chill, meditative, slow-burn.
 
For me, TJF is the only one I would listen to as a standalone "single." The album overall is way more country than I would usually like, BUT I think it is the absolute perfect album to sing along to for a long road trip across open spaces...especially at night. For me, she's channeling the artists she loves so much that if you told me this was a cover album of lost songs from Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, etc, I would 100% believe you. However, I know it's just a side of her we haven't seen before...earnest, romantic, mature. I see myself listening to it in the car a lot.
 
P.S. Yosemite made me cry, but that might be because I thought we'd never get it?

To me, it would've made more sense to hire a teenager with some resemblance to Lana to play 19-yr-old Lana on skates...having the double in that absurd wig with her face blurred out like we're supposed to pretend she's Lana was just...
 
Also deeply baffled by the intermittent arm sling; either have it or don't, but it looks super lazy to have it part of the time. And masks part of the time. Mess. 
 
But then, I also have mixed feelings about the song--the baby voice sounds so strained that it makes me flinch, but I love the lyrics (except that weird awkward thing about the meninthemusicbusinessconference). If she sings it live with her normal range in concert I would legit love it.

Seeing Chuck's post upthread saying "love you daddy", I had to do a double-take to realize she means her baby's actual daddy not, like, "you can be my daddy"  

Apparently it is a mix of colors, if I'm reading that right? Chestnut, Midas Touch, and...wait for it...CHERRY COLA!

Imagine if Chuck steals Lana's baby's name and calls it Ivory Cricket 

Auntie Lana!!!!  I bet she will write poems and songs to celebrate. 
 
"I wore diamonds for the birth of your baby, for the birth of MY NIECE" (or nephew but it's too many syllables)

Random thoughts in no particular order, after reading the interview again:
 
1. I think of old-school country (not pop-country) as songs that tell stories, often stories of heartbreak and/or traveling the open rode; LDR does have that same narrative quality in Video Games and Ride. Doesn't mean she's going to sing with a twang or play the harmonica.
 
2. I've been wanting to hear Lana cover anything Portishead forever, but her writing her own songs in that vein is even better!
 
3. Trip-hop is literally my favorite genre. So damn sexy.
 
4. I do think Charlie used overly harsh lighting for the cover shot; Lana has delicate features, so I don't love that. But the picture with the face-framing white fur (?) is a serve. It looks like a halo for an angel livin' in the garden of evil.
 
5. The interview is wonderfully thoughtful and in-depth, plus the A-Z suggestions for appreciating her influences are a bonus!
 
6. To clarify: no one said NFR is "about" Father John Misty meaning she literally fucked him.  The interviewer said the persona of FJM (not the real man, Josh Tillman) is the kind of man that she's gently mocking in the song, the same kind of character he played in her Freak video, a guy in love with himself.
