Chemtrail

You know what? Your right!

No one cares what she has to say let’s not give her the attention she desperately wants.

We are but calla lilies caked in coffee grounds kept captive in coffins and cornered like corralled calves

I KNOW the people who did this lurk on this site and I want them to know I DIED
 
 

if lana was gonna call the paparazzi on herself, i would think she'd maybe fix herself up a little bit more.
 
speaking of, twitter has gotten its hands on the pics 

I could definitely be wrong, but something about the chilling ending of Violet makes me think this is actually coming soon, and she won't say a lot about it except for maybe a pre-order. There's a lot of mystery around this project and it's very exciting.
 
Having it come out before the physical copies of Violet will also boost interest and sales for that once less committed fans hear Chemtrails.
 
Who knows, time will tell! 

I went to her website just to see if anything had changed and the typewriter font changes to this whenever you load the page, but changes back immediately. Does that mean anything?

Baby if you wanna leave
Come to California, be a freak like me, too
Screw your anonymity
Loving me is all you need to feel
Like I do
 

Petridish rated it 3 stars and then it came number 1 in the end of year ranking which was voted for by all staff 

a line from a poem in Behind the Iron Gates - Insights from an Institution has just leaked!
 
It reads, "Fuck the guardian"

imagine taking a woman  who says that all Lana Del Rey songs are the same seriously

this aged well

Quote: "The "Chemtrails Manual" is an Air Force Academy chemistry manual published by the Department of Defense for 1990 Air Force cadet training. The word "chemtrails" became a popular name applied to aircraft contrails that appeared unnatural."

what we need to do is much bigger than electoral politics

Huh. I feel like the reviewer sort of missed the point of Violet. First calling all her music the same, so this should be as well, but then stating that it ruins the "camp" of Lana, citing lines from Salamander. I think Salamander is one of the most bombastic, and yet because of its theatrical aching, it reveals who Lana may actually be. Isn't this why we love her? An artist who 100% believes in her convictions and statements and way of life, even if they sound bleeding heart, or "camp". Also their statement that LA is the best poem is just a No. Its an incredible opener but to dismiss everything after it is just lazy writing.
 
One thing I loved about this project before it released was Lana's plaintive nature about it. "Theyre not trying to be anything more than what they are, and im especially proud because the nature in which they were written was very authentic" This was Lanas way of saying they are what they are, and sort or sucking the wind out of any accusation of pretentiousness. If you don't like them, shes fine with it. Lastly, yes NFR was gold because it took Lanas stories and set them to an America on fire. Violet is not that project, and it wasn't supposed to come out in the heat of the country falling to pieces. So for the reviewer to suggest she's a newb poet for focusing on herself? Please. Shes a mysterious legend already and her fans got some serious peeks behind the curtain here and we love her for it. Woof, rant over.

it's really beautiful.

Violet and NFR truly complement each other so beautifully. After listening to them together a few times in the mixed and rearranged tracklist I posted on the last page, I can really see the synergy between the two - how each poem enhances its sister song and makes for a wholistic understanding of Lana’s headspace and perspective from ages 32-34. The little parallels and lyrical/poetical continuities between both projects make me smile. I am so grateful we have this gift of Lana’s writing and I hope she never stops. I can’t wait to listen to Chemtrails in September and develop further insights into that record’s narrative when Behind the Iron Gates is released in March. I hope she continues to release music and poetry that coincide with each other, as I feel we get to see a side of Lana that we don’t with her music. It takes a great deal of vulnerability to reveal all that much more in another medium and I feel like even though we don’t personally know her, we all probably feel a lot closer to her.

i don't understand why people are hating on her for wearing her same shorts... they look fine, they're really cute and they don't look old or dingy. What's the big deal if she wears it even in like every photo lol? I love the shorts, they look so cute!

her legs are always a serve

LEGS Del Rey 

I spy nails!!!! I hope they’re here to stay
 
also poor thing, she had on a mask, hat, AND sunglasses and still got recognized/papped let this woman go to 7/11 in peace lmfao it’s not news. I’m really starting to get tired of paparazzi

The themes she explores near the end of Violent Bent Backwards over the Grass, and the creepiness of the ending make me think she's leading into a much darker sound than a country album for Chemtrails.

Needed three full attempts to get to listen to this project in full. Its heavy, its complex. It isnt something you can listen to while doing or thinking about anything else. This is so obscure and its brilliant. Lana delivery is truly outstanding and Jack's music couldnt have been done better. I wasnt expecting for this album to be such a dense,dark artistic thing. Maybe its even too dark. Damn, Lana...

Sorry to sound slightly hyperbolic, but this poetry album genuinely captures Lana's essence to me. I think all of her albums are TRUE to her in some way, but I really... hear her in this one. The weirdness of her personality is allowed to fully shine through that we once heard in some of her earlier, unreleased work. Don't get me wrong, compared to all the other girls out there, everything Lana does is weird, but the actual, real eccentricity of her personality is on display here. Paired with the slightly ominous, atmospheric background music...

Not everyone's going to love it or get it, but they're not who it was made for. It truly is an incredible piece of work, and I hope she continues to give zero fucks with Chemtrails, because uncompromising Lana is where it's at.
