I feel like she’s gonna release LDR10 some time in 2025, she can keep us fed with a lot of things in 2024… she has many options, the covers album, an album with nikki lane?, AKA re-release, an unreleased album

i disagree. She doesn't need to dumb it down. A song can be smart and deep whilst being uplifting or a bop / music you can dance to. Example: summetime sadness.
 
to say that she should stick to melancholy is a bit limiting to her talents. Even nfr, her greatest album by all account, had doin' time on it. Does that make it less of a record, less smart, and less melancholy? No.
 
all i'm saying is - three dark and melancholic albums back to back with no conventional hits is a bit of a bore. 

Yes, living in the Southern hemisphere, Lana's albums are released in opposite seasons. Ultraviolence will therefore always be a mostly winter album for me, and Honeymoon a spring album. But that's also heavily impacted by me listening to them on repeat at the times they were released.
But when she sings about July, for example, I'm not going to think of our winters here because it's much more obvious in her lyrics. It's just an experience I don't have (July being summer, and therefore being a big celebratory time to be outside). so I don't really relate a lot of her lyrics to my own life, like all the locations she mentions too. It's just imaginary to me

A great result for this album and Lana!
In comparison, it took 2 years (!) for Lust For Life to reach the same milestone, and it's a much more accessible album with big collabs.
 

Lana’s fondness of Morgan Wallen’s bro-country music actually worries me  I get you can like whatever music you like but after giving it a listen it’s HOT GARBAGE (and not in a campy way!) let’s hope no influence creeps into her new music..it would be much more reassuring if she enjoyed Zach Bryan’s newest album (which was GREAT) but for now all I know is she really likes Morgan Wallen..

We are probably getting some new music next year given Ocean Blvd will be 1 year and 9 months old. Blue Banisters was only 1 year and 5 months old when Ocean was fully released. 

Omfg this information  thank you for exploring those old threads! 

from what i’ve gleaned, Reading is a tad more easygoing than it’s Leeds counterpart!
 
i’ll try to elaborate just so it makes a lil more sense why i’m dreading it so much hahah! honestly, i don’t want to sound like i’m being super mean about leeds fest; i quite enjoyed it when i was much much younger, but going back as an adult i absolutely hated it. my friends are all massive lana fans and we went down to london and spent a bunch of money to see her at hyde park so they’re the kind to follow lana to the gates of hell, but even they’re all refusing to come with me to leeds fest so we can see her and it’s only down the road from us leeds fest is very much a young persons festival; it’s the end of gcses / end-of-college-year tradition for many 15-18 year olds up north. as such, it’s about 90% filled with underage teens who aren’t used to that sort of environment getting absolutely off their head - as they should! bc partying is fun and drugs and booze and live music and festivals are all the most fun at that age! i’d never slate them for that! but being there as an adult was very very jarring for me. last time i went i took my nephew and bc it was a birthday gift for him, we spent a lot of time in the hip hop tent bc that’s where most of his fave artists were and i believe i was the oldest person in the entire tent - i was 24 at the time  so because it’s full of young and inexperienced partygoers, a lot of them don’t know how to act, they don’t have concert etiquette and it can just feel like a giant expensive sweaty freshers fair at points.
 
for example, just anecdotes from my personal experience but my nephew and i were there for a day, and in that one day: a 16 year old tried chatting me up and would not leave me alone so when i finally raised my voice at him because i’d been politely asking him to back off for 20 minutes (not least of all because he was an actual child!) he ragged my hair and pushed me over into a bunch of unsuspecting girls and they all went toppling over (lol he he wasn’t used to rejection i guess? idk); my 15 year old nephew got punched in a face by a random 19 year old lad because he asked my nephew if he sold cocaine (like WHAT he’s FIFTEEN LOL), my nephew laughed and said no, and the 19 year old got lairy bc my nephew was “taking the piss out of him” and a big fight ensued - there was no security around so it took 5ft3 me tearing this 6ft4 wasted roidhead off my nephew to get the fight to stop; i got a giant bruise on my forehead because someone launched a glass wine bottle across the crowd and of course it would hit me!! right in the forehead!! lmao; i managed to catch a gnarly sunburn that lasted for months after (even w plenty of sunscreen!) because there are barely any tented or shaded areas AT ALL, lots of people were passing out from sunstroke etc (which is common for festivals but leeds fest is particularly egregious with its poor design); my nephew got injured because he was backing away from a mosh pit that was forming in the crowd (he just wanted to hear the music and nod his head a little, he didn’t wanna go crazy or nothing) but a bunch of kids decided to push him so hard into the middle of it that they actually knocked him over and he got kicked a load of times and injured his ankle by going down on it funny (one kid actually pulled him by his shirt to throw him directly into the middle of the mosh pit, mind you we were towards the back of the crowd so we weren’t even in the middle or at the front or anything like that, so why they thought it was okay to do that is absolutely beyond me); i spent about £250 just to feed and hydrate me and my nephew for the day, but that being said i did have a few alcoholic drinks which are of course more expensive, but still! i also remember it being about £15 just to use any of the phone charging ports; there was a literal used needle in the bathroom stall i used at one point which baffled me cause like…. kids are doing heroin now? is that hip now? is that what they’re doing? the mind boggles!; a kid actually died the day we were there from an overdose, bless his poor little soul.
 
all in all, the crowd that leeds fest seems to attract is usually quite awful. a lot of random fires, often they’ll set fire to tents in the camping areas at night time, lots of violence, lots of uncomfortable situations involving young kids being absolutely out of it. i don’t think that it being a young persons festival is a bad thing at all, and i don’t even think it’s inherently bad to have an obnoxious crowd at a festival like this - i just think that if you’re an adult or if situations like that can make you anxious/uncomfortable, it can be unpleasant.
 
reading attracts a similar age bracket, but i believe the levels of obnoxiousness and chaos are a little lower than leeds! like i say, i don’t intend to actually slate the festival or the people that go to it - i think young people need a place where they can get to grips with substances and partying and crowd etiquette and things like that! i think that’s a good thing! but it is also my idea of hell
 
but for lana…. i’m willing to do it  i’m sorry this was so long but i hope that shed a little light on it for you!! <3
 
i am so glad it’s not just me being mean about leeds fest in this thread i was starting to sound  like a bitter old lady omfg

I like to get tipsy on Baileys, play Wow or Gemcraft and listen all the moody unreleased tracks from my 10.4gb lana folder it's a rare relaxing treat

a morgan wallen collab would be the absolute worst decision for her to make, controversies aside, from what i've heard, his music sounds like hot garbage and collaborating with such a basic, mainstream, commercialized country artist who's hardly actually country, and who's also known for saying the n-word, would be a very embarrassing look for her, she could do so much better

If we get a Morgan Wallen collab on this album I’m becoming a full time Ethel Cain stan
 
I really hope this record is inspired by older country music, I don’t want any modern country pop influence at ALL

I'm 99% sure that Stand By Your Man cover will be on LDR10. She sang it on the tour all the time like she sang For Free on The NFR! Tour. And it somehow suits her current Americana aesthetic too. We'll see, maybe it's on American Standards & Classics.

I need new info 

well that shoot she and nicki did with the horses seems to be for Something… as they asked the photographer to take down the pictures.. so album cover perhaps 
 
and then iirc she was asked about the covers album recently and she insinuated she had plentyyyy of them recorded she just hasn’t gotten around to putting them together and releasing them so… that feels like it could come whenever she feels like putting it out

I think it's safe to speculate that either the joint album with nikki lane or standards & classics might be on the way this time

no.
LDR10 is psychedelic experimental electronic lo-fi album mixed with trip hop, shoegaze, alternative rock, hip hop and dark demonic ambient with dreamy cinematic vibes and touch of psychedelic country and punk rock. very angry and explicit record full of grief, regards, crying and being pissed at the same time. only 2-3 tracks being calmer
