I actually really love this line 

i want venice bitch vibes on the new album 

well said
 
the title "chemtrails over the country club" to me brings about images of glamorous people being completely oblivious to their impending doom. like, i just see rich white girls in hollywood facing death from above. and not even realizing it. 
 
which is extra interesting because vapid white girls chasing love and luxury was kind of her whole brand, especially at the beginning of her career. so it's almost like she's deconstructing the archetype she created for herself.

Good find!
Here's the decription:
“'Violet Bent Backwards over the Grass' is the title poem of the book and the first poem I wrote of many. Some of which came to me in their entirety, which I dictated and then typed out, and some that I worked laboriously picking apart each word to make the perfect poem. They are eclectic and honest and not trying to be anything other than what they are and for that reason I’m proud of them, especially because the spirit in which they were written was very authentic.” (Lana Del Rey) 
Lana Del Rey brings her breathtaking poetry to life in an unprecedented audiobook. In this stunning spoken word performance, Lana Del Rey reads 14 poems from her debut book Violet Bent Backwards over the Grass accompanied by music from Grammy Award-winning musician Jack Antonoff. Lana’s debut book solidifies her further as “the essential writer of her times” (The Atlantic). This audiobook features Lana reading select poems from the book, including "LA Who Am I to Love You?", "The Land of 1,000 Fires", "Past the Bushes Cypress Thriving", "Never to Heaven", "Tessa DiPietro", "Happy", and several others. The result is an extraordinary poetic landscape that reflects the unguarded spirit of its creator.

I wish her name on the book cover was Elizabeth

unfortunately, i think lana's days of making summery drug/romance anthems are behind her. which is a shame cause those songs slapped. 
 
now she's all about "meditations" and "vibrations" and "questioning the culture" so god help us all 

My first post although I have been a Lana fan since 2011. First I want to say, the fake lyrics this era are really good! Especially the lyrics of Hidden in the Hills, it really sounds like Lana's words but without being a parody of Lana-isms. It kind of has me hoping the lyrics aren't fake because there is something sinister about those lyrics and I would really love an album with a bite to it.
 
Anyway, I have been thinking about the title "Chemtrails Over the Country Club", and I thought I would share some interpretations and connotations that might reveal something about the sound or themes of the album. Maybe some of these are a stretch but here goes.
 
Flight is a symbol of freedom, and we know that Lana was previously taking pilot lessons. In the opening verse of "Hope...", Lana sings about disliking the social pressures of being expected to behave in a certain upper class and feminine way. A country club is an embodiment of that culture that makes her feel suffocated, and she looks up in the sky to see chemtrails and wishes that she could fly away. Lana also just went through a breakup, metaphorically taking flight and leaving her relationship behind. Thematically this album will deal with concepts of freedom and liberation. For Lana, freedom may be closely related to romance. Lana suggests in many songs that she struggles with finding personal fulfillment or contentment when she is not in love. To be single is to be free, but in Lana's case, to be in love is also a form of freedom from her own void. I am expecting an album that at times conveys deep infatuation (al Love Song, Video Games), and also deep introspection as Lana discusses what "freedom" means to her at this stage of her life (ala Change, Hope is a Dangerous Thing).
  The name also seems satirical. It seems to mock social elites, people who are affluent enough to belong to a country club, and ignorant and paranoid enough to believe in chemtrails or other government conspiracy theories. We know that Lana has become progressively more political, and hates president Trump and his voters. This album title to me suggests that she may be trying to get inside the heads of these types of people. There is a sense of anxiety in the title, as if the subjects of Lana's satire feel that their white country club suburbia is being invaded by outsiders and threatened by a changing world and culture. This same type of discomfort with a rapidly changing world can be felt on The Greatest. Lana may be expanding on that theme by exploring the phyche of people who are mentally still living in 1950's suburbia but physically living in a world of social media and fear mongering politicians and government conspiracies, etc.
  Even if the above point is a misinterpretation, the word "country club" is strongly associated with the upper class. Lana's early music was fixated on the lifestyles and culture of the upper class. Satirically or not, she idolized the rich. Lana's relationship with money has changed a lot and like the more she gets the less she cares about it. I don't believe that this album will have the same perspective on the 1% as BTD or pre-BTD songs, but it is basically guaranteed that Lana will put the spotlight on them one more time on this album.
  Finally the word "chem" can be a slang term for drugs, specifically methamphetamines, which Lana has sung about in the past and even has a song titled after. The image of a pristine blue sky polluted by chemtrails reminds me of the way that Lana suggests that her body has been polluted when she sings "drugs are in my veins, I'm running out of time". Flight can also be an allusion to being high, like when Lana sings "I'm flying to the moon again, dreaming about Heroine". Also, one symptom of methamphetamine use is extreme paranoia and belief in Government conspiracy theories, such as believing in chemtrails. I am expecting this album to deal with drug use, either explicitly or implicitly, and have an overall more trippy sound than any of her past albums.
  I am expecting an album of strong juxtapositions. The production will be a tug-of-war between lush-beauty (the country club) and harsh psychedelia (the chemtrails). There will be gorgeous piano ballads, there will be psychadelic songs like Venice Bitch and West Coast or maybe a more electronic psychedelia like Heroine, and perhaps there will even be orchestral string arrangements that recall BTD.  The album will be extremely passionate and sensual, but there will be an underlying current of anxiety throughout the entire album that reflects both Lana's personal anxieties, and also larger social anxieties about class, race, coronavirus, president Trump, etc. In the same way that FIILY takes an abrupt turn, Chemtrails will be full of twists and turns lyrically and sonically. One second Lana is in love, the next she is contemplating death. One second Lana is enjoying being in the country club, the next she is staring at the chemtrails.  Let me know if you agree or disagree with any of this, or if I am just putting way too much thought into this.

i see whar domandapiano is saying though, songs like love song, nfr and hope are a lot more beautiful than songs like carmen, million dollar man and dark paradise - there's a real intimacy and sadness to them. with a lot of the born to die songs it feels a lot more like plastic sadness, that doesn't mean its not real, it just means its very manifactured and contains a very forced aesthetic and way of thinking, it's also not as relatable for most people in a bigger sense, whereas the nfr songs hit closer to home

Okay but Summer Bummer was Lana trying to revamp Summertime Sadness

Let's hope she saw how much love Venice Bitch got and decided to go full beachy, soft-rock psychedelia. I want 7 different guitars, sad alien synths, her vocals to reach more than literally 5 notes, some fucking bridges and some HARDER HITTING DRUMS for god's sake
Also some horns or other weird instruments in the background to make it richer and more immersive but I think I'm asking too much 

That's what I have back in my mind but I avoid to think about...because I really want that Lana does sth different but yeah have the same feeling about it as you. But on the other Hand they made a song like Venice Bitch. If she stays in a similiar vein to NFR! she hopefully will go down the VB/ Filly/ The Greatest route...So far I really liked most of Lanas piano ballads but I hope we don't get too much of them on COCC maybe one or two ....I hope for more instrumentation and for more bass....it could be my car soundsystem but the difference between UV and NFR in terms of bass is kinda huge

jeez not to sound potentially perverted, but I'd really like the album cover to have a wet(?) element to it. 

the way this photo's so beautiful and calm:

juxtaposed w some kind of chaotic environment? a mood

The album cover is Doin Time mv Lana sq**rting all over the country club making it rain... give it to me 

I just really wanna know. will I be drinking sweet tea to this record or hard liquor, or wait which proportions should I mix. universe pls answer 

the thought of her potentially being independent makes me so nervous    as much as I would love for lana to have full artistic freedom i feel like these days she literally NEEDS a giant record label shaped stick poking her until she releases stuff or else we'll never get anything 

You know the tracklist is real until you see a track named something like
"A woman like me is hard to find but so is a man like you with your pleasurable torment, not it isn't, yes it is - jim beam"

Stripper Lana where have you been?
Where did you go?
Those slutty rhymes seem long ago
 
:whine:

hold me, love me, leak me, honey be the first who ever leaked
Ah ya ha a a a a

I want an album full of slutty songs, like absolute filth but that's just me
 
Also religious undertones, maybe some choir background singers chanting hauntingly as she sings. Ugh.

We never know for sure, with her. The way NFR rolled out, I felt she was tired of the all promo thing, so I didn’t expect LDR7 to be released so soon. But she is a very creative person and writing is now part of her DNA: it’s now a need for her. I also said, last year, that between writing and all the other projects she was attached to, we might not get a LDR LP soon... We don’t know what her projects are anymore (the Alice soundtrack, the Broadway thing...).
The one thing I see that could halt all projects is if she chooses to have a baby on her own or with someone. Inevitably, she would not be as available as she would want to. But even if she « takes a break », it could take years before we realize it: she has so much shit piled up that could be released randomly in her hiatus.

Another album cover concept! I’d like to see something like this maybe, combining the old Hollywood feel with a chemtrail emitted from a plane motif

I mean, I'd be v happy if she did but like, it's her birthday. 
Let her post something smoking or vaping and leave it like that
