  1. This is Veronica Lake doing for promo for “I Married A Witch”, Lana’s white outfit is very similar. So I definitely think it was a hommage or referencing Veronica Lake. Veronica Lake was born Constance Ockelman and changed her name when she came to Hollywood. She was known for blonde wavy hair and her style became very popular in the 40s. She struggled with alcoholism and while she didn’t die, her addiction did have to do with her leaving Hollywood to find recovery. again many similarities to Lana’s story.
  2. Has anyone fathomed the idea that if the engagement rumors are true the next album might be coming from a married Lana??? Or perhaps a pregnant Lana???
  3. Random but I adore the Texas in “Paris, Texas”. It’s giving Pabst blue ribbon on ice.
  4. wanted to drop my thoughts following the Grants and Did You Know…? as an album. I think this album will have mix to great reviews, I don’t think many people will understand it and that’s the point. I think its experimental nature will be a large turning point for Lana musically. For me, this album will be the LFL of the new album trilogy, not in motifs or incohesiveness, but rather in its transitional state. that being said this album might be as influential as BTD was for 2010s. NFR defined the early 2020s and I feel Did You Know…? will be influential for the rest of the 2020s. Like Jack said in The Rolling Stone interview, Lana is leading the pack not following it.
  5. I just love watching these shows on lanaboards, we all have the same collective brain cell.
  6. No bc I thought this the other day!!! i always see Lana’s work in trilogies. LFR is the buffer link between BTD/Ultraviolence/Honeymoon and NFR/COTCC/BB hence why it’s so uneven and experimental. i think DYKTATUOB will be uneven and experimental as well, taking us to the next Lana phase. But whereas LFR is not the strongest album in her discography, this transitional album might be one of her best works with bold new sounds and rich diaristic lyrics to match.
  7. I love this analysis but I also cannot get over that Rosemead is officially part of the Lana del Rey canon and lyrics. I grew up in that city and to see it now like a lanaboards username is so wild to me! obv love the username rosemead forever
  8. Also I think the Ramada inn she is specifically referencing is the one by the 60 freeway. It borders El Monte, San Gabriel, and Rosemead so the context of the lyrics make sense. (I lived in Rosemead and we stayed there once when I was a child) Also! A stretch but an interesting thought, Ramada sounds a lot like Ramera which is slang for whore in Spanish.
  9. I’m not Asian but I am latina and I grew up in these cities (Rosemead) and I agree it’s just kinda awesome to see them come up in her songs recently. i died when I heard her mention Rosemead first thing in the morning when I heard A&W.
  10. Like these Lana and Jack collabs keep getting better and better with age. We’ve gone from Venice Bitch and Mariners to White Dress and COTCC and now to A&W and whatever other masterpiece they have on this record. Also the depth of the work is astounding, Lana’s lyrics are just something else here. As soon as she mentioned her mother, I knew it was gonna be THAT song. I’ll admit I was worried Lanaboards complaining about the piano in the beginning, but I think the outro gives it this fresh edge. Even though the whole song is just all around sharp and ready for the kill. so excited for the rest of the album! It’s gonna be very experimental, personal, and perhaps her magnus opus (also side note but I’m dying about her mentioning Rosemead. I was born and raised there)
  11. I was worried about being able to handle both A&W and Caroline Polachek’s new album coming out at midnight, but now I can vibe to the new album and wake up to american whore STREAM DESIRE I WANT TO TURN INTO YOU AT MIDNIGHT
  12. DIDNT THINK ABOUT THIS !!!! also the fact that BB ends with her singing to her sister and DYKTATUOB starts with her singing about her family. KARMIC LINEAGE.
  13. all the girlies in this thread claiming american whore better not be the same ones trashing jack antonoff and his piano in other threads
  14. This is so true i was re-listening to BB yesterday to prep myself for the new era and I think BB has this real echo-y, nostalgic feel to it. There’s something soft yet stripped down, also I’m not the biggest fan about how it sounds so far away/muffled. However, this new single sounds yearning yet complex, building up with sounds as the song opens it up revealing itself to us. Obv there can be similarities between the two albums as one follows the other, but I feel there was something about BB rooted in the past whereas this album is about Lana’s present.
  15. ANOTHER HONEYMOON CONNECTION i still think sonically we’re gonna hear some Honeymoon-esque songs
  16. I know we always say we won but god we really won this time. The visualsthe vinylsthe song we’ve been wanting an nfr meets ultraviolence and this album is giving me that. It’s the beach meeting the dark. IM READY

    UGH EVERMORE + SPEAK NOW IS MY DREAM However, the one i most likely can do is the LA ones, which in that case I would go for debut and Speak Now<3

    Taylor is a cancer moon and just like Lana is a cancer sun. We never get over anything ever.

  20. I think this album is gonna be like in NFR! like in terms of kickstarting a whole new Lana and new genre/experimentation. If NFR! kickstarted the stripped down era of COTCC and BB, I can see her next album swinging in the complete different direction. In regards to the “country” argument, I can see the new album still carrying the indie/piano ballads but with the return to Honeymoon orchestrations. If the mood is diaristic, angry, and lush it will be like nothing we have heard from Lana. we either get another LFL, as in not sure what genre it wants to be in but with bangers, or another NFR!, as in Lana successful exploring a new sound and creating masterpieces in the process.
  21. I really love how much Honeymoon has been brought to the conversation lately. between her current looks, her Instagram user name, and her mentioning “Swan Song” as her saddest songs PLUS saying her new work is almost spoken poetry with orchestra sounds… it’s like Honeymoon 2.0 I think it makes sense after such minimalist eras (nfr, cotcc, bb) to come back to a maximalist approach albeit with her newer, diarylike lyrics. Kinda reminds me of FATM returning to maximalism in Dance Fever after two very visually subdued records. i just feel we might be getting old Lana aesthetics and vibes with her new perspective and powerful lyricism. That’s very exciting to me
  22. I love that we all acknowledge LFL as that awkward yet important transitional phase between the two trilogies. (that being said are we heading into another LFL 2.0??? i honestly wouldn’t mind if they have the vibe of the last half of LFL )
  23. lol my lack of love for UV is legendary. i tried to re-listen to it before BB and I felt the urge to skip many songs. I can understand why ppl like it and maybe it’s an age thing (like I listened to UV for the first time in my mid twenties) bc it just didn’t resonate with me at all.
