manifesting they both climb into our new favorites of all time

Top 3 Prediction: 1. Candy Necklace 2. Taco Truck x VB 3. Fishtail Rockefeller… (however I’m hoping Kintsugi lives up to the hype and makes a grand appearance)

Velvet Crowbar was playing in my dream last night (but yes, 100% agree!)

This cover of West Coast isn’t my personal preference, but I’m always interested to see different interpretations of Lana songs—at least he took some artistic liberties & made it his own

Omg at midnight?? We’re getting fed

Apologies in advance if this has already been discussed, but Lana said in her interview that she originally fit 6 titles into one for the original LDR9 name. Given that the tracklist we have now allegedly has misleading titles, do we think that Pearl, Psycho Lifeguard, etc. were original titles for the current songs on LDR9? I suppose they could be scrapped tracks, but it’s interesting given that we know there was a shift in the tracklist names per insiders. edit: this was talked about 1 hour ago here. ignore me

As much as I love A&W, the more I listen, the more unsettling the song becomes. That being said, it’s a really engaging listen, and I think she uses that to her advantage; eerie/dark themes can become unlistenable, but there’s enough sonic variation, storytelling, and shock factor to feed its replay value. As a side note, I wish I would have known nothing about A&W prior to my first listen—think I might start avoiding spoilers next time

I love Lana’s change in vocal tone as she repeats, “I’m just like this.” It’s a simple detail, but I think that shift to an almost annoyed/spiteful inflection at the end really helped deliver the repetition in a meaningful way. There’s so much subtle anger, sarcasm, humor, celebration, etc. in A&W that gets highlighted just by a slight turn of her voice without the need for vocal acrobatics, so to speak. Love that for us

My post is mostly a joke lol. Laura Sisk is an engineer Lana’s collaborated with, but she’s also worked with many other artists as well!

I will never recover from the “Surf’s up!”

So many thoughts about the new song now that it’s really settled in! Initially, I think my preconceived notions of how A&W would sound threw me off quite a bit, but after a few more plays and listening past those expectations, I can confidently say A&W is going to be one of my all-time favorites. Also, prior to the correct lyrics being posted, I didn’t remotely catch just how dark and nuanced this song is. That’s its own conversation, but I’m seriously so impressed—with A&W and the title track, the full picture of the record is slowly becoming more clear. Also, I cannot stress enough how amazing this song is with headphones—cranking up the volume with them really highlights her inflection and the little production gems. She knows she’s about to release album of the century

The “Oh my god” in A&W….that’s a moment I’ll never forget

I have a neat observation about Kintsugi & her latest interview for anyone interested!

I feel like it’ll be a more subtle but lyrically impactful track—BoZ compared the record to a travel through memories/places (iirc), so maybe it’s both touching on the themes of the movie while also detailing her time in Texas! I feel like it’s either going to be really fun, or it’ll be a more low-key, somber track

Personally I don’t find them comparable because they’re so different but that’s just me

I can’t stop listening
