this what we’re looking at rn???
Text Book (released) Blue Banisters (released) Arcadia (released) Interlude - The Trio (released kinda) Black Bathing Suit (new) If You Lie Down With Me (new) Beautiful (new) Violets for Roses (new) Dealer (leaked) Thunder (leaked) Wildflower Wildfire (released) Nectar of the Gods (leaked) Living Legend (leaked) Cherry Blossom (leaked) Sweet Carolina (new)

You're so sweet to ask! I was in such a spin earlier today between keeping track of multiple threads, approving a slew of new members, making sure the site didn't crash, etc. that I totally didn't comment on much!
Arcadia is gorgeous. I've had the intro verse stuck in my head constantly ever since she posted the initial snippet back in July, and I'm so happy to have finally heard the rest. The lyrics are super strong and creative and the melody is just heavenly. She's truly telling her story. The video is also incredible.. I would actually consider it one of her best! It's a happy medium somewhere between homemade and high budget, which I love so much and think is perfect for the song. It's such an intimate moment just dancing around with Lana at the Hilton Hotel (in many of which I have also stayed and danced in, so I related) She looks gorgeous in the video and I love the ending.. plus it birthed two new iconic LanaBoards emotions!  
The tracklist has me super excited. Although, I wanna take partial credit for predicting this ages ago because I have Lana's unreleased songs divided into multiple unreleased albums based on sound, and in one of the albums I have a track run that goes Nectar of the Gods, Cherry Blossom, and Living Legend. This is essentially what it looks like on Blue Banisters, except the last two tracks are reversed! I'm also super interested to hear the new songs too. This album is shaping up to be one of her best.
& all of the album covers are stunning as well - some of her best covers! I must admit, and don't slaughter me for this, I've never been the biggest Neil Krug fan but the cover shoot for Blue Banisters is just perfect. I love all of the covers so far, and I'm looking forward to seeing if there are any further variants for other retailers!
Overall, what an exciting day!! I'm always so happy that we can all come together here to celebrate and live in joy over new Lana releases.. in our brand new Pre-Release Thread too! 

I am so excited for this album, but the one thing that makes me sad is that there are only five songs that I haven’t heard yet. We basically already know the album is going to be amazing because we have already heard a majority of it. I’m glad the dealer leak is LQ, so I can still look forward to hearing the HQ version, so I have six tracks to look forward to. I hope a few of the tracks are slightly reworked just so that I have a little more new music to enjoy when the album drops.

Arcadia is so beautiful! I have a feeling we are going to get a top three LDR album, sitting next to NFR and UV in my personal trinity. For me, the production style and melody is like a downtempo Paradise. I’m loving the return to the baroque chamber pop sound with more lush sounding strings and piano composition. The emotion and the storytelling and lyricism is like NFR/Chemtrails. I really feel Fine China would have fit into this album perfectly, but maybe she will save that for her unreleased compilation.
 
I also love Dealer and that is one of her most intense and unique vocal performances she has ever served, but she made the right choice not putting it on Chemtrails. It’s very pissed off and anxious sounding. I’m not really certain dealer will fit on BB either, but will wait until I see how the album flows before I make my judgment.
 
One question: I know the Grammy has some eligibility rule that a certain percent of the songs on an album need to have been written or recorded in the last few years for an album to be eligible at the Grammy’s. Will all the old songs on this make BB ineligible at the Grammy’s? That would just be criminal. It is Lana’s turn to get her god damn Grammy and I would die inside if some stupid rule blocks her eligibility.

Didn't she tell Spin magazine to fuck off?

Slutty trap music with a bit of Tarantino grindhouse production on the side.

Honeymoon version 

Ok but which of the 1736384862 Yes To Heaven demos?

Me filling out my details to buy vinyls knowing full well that it means i won’t be able to buy food for 2 days before my next paycheck because i’m a pathetic stan who can’t make adult choices correctly. 

I'm so excited to stare out of a car window melodramatically while listening to Arcadia 

IM OBSESSED WITH THIS. On the train home and just watching people live their lives while Arcadia plays  love it I can’t wait for the album
