the whole "automatic" writing thing kinda worries me... as well as her not having an album name, according to the WMAG article. 
maybe she needs to take time to create a new era live life cuz I dont want her rushing material just to get it out 

She's back in California so I sense another IG photo dump of the dolphin flower sofa followed by a single announcement 
I still think that the polaroids back in April (+ the December DNC ones) were album related and she was filming some aesthetic footage for a MV/album trailer at that dam with Chuck. Also Neil acting all sneaky about a mystery photoshoot right before she left for NY or Italy (I can't remember the timeline).
It's all falling into place  
 

i laughed at this cus i didn't really plan on remembering this but then u mentioned it and i somehow just remembered is that deja vu? 

We got BBS, Dealer and FMWUTTT when she was angry, I guess we won
 
edit: also In My Feelings 

I bet we are either getting a simple title (imagine another self titled ) or an obnoxiously long one similar to Chemtrails.
I hope it's nothing corny like Inside My Mind: Thoughs and prayers 
I feel like we (myself included) are reading too much into what she told in the interview. I think she just said what felt more interesting about the album and the writing process and not necessarily about the album as a whole. We are probably getting a mix of some classical Lana tracks, piano ballads and angry rambling BBS style. Lana is the best at describing her music when saying little (like when she said NFR was "sad girl shit" or something like that) so I think the most clear concept would be "I'm angry" 

It also just sounds like she is coming at her lyrics and melodies as a jazz improv.
A new jazz fantasy would be amazing. I don't really think of Jack as the jazz fantasy type, but she NEEDS to get whoever produced Buddy's in there because that's the way to do it 
 
 

agreed. it sounds classy n beachy. i dont think lana’s gonna have “death” in the title. either way i have a feeling whatever title “dnc” was is scrapped. 

I still prefer Del Norte County 
it reminds me of West Coast…

Alright, I had another good night sleep and it gave me hope again to put on my clown makeup again (haha) and say that the W interview is the official start of the era, even if we don’t have an album name. I gathered where she revealed the album name through médias for previous eras I remembered. 
- UV: Tropico premiere, followed by Insta post (thanks, @takemetothegasstation)
-HM was it at an event or through an e-magazine? I do remember that she said she had a record named Music To Watch Boys To;
-LFL: the trailer I think?
-NFR: radio première of VB, one of the two first singles;
-Chemtrails: first mention of said record was through an e-magazine, NFR’s release day, saying she was working on the next album, not wanting to take a break. she casually let the title out in her QFTC post. I don’t even think it was meant to be revealed so soon. Interview magazine, with an official photoshoot, gave us more insights on the project, which was revealed Labor Day Weekend; LMLYLAW followed in October. 
-BB: Insta post with Picsart in April. Triple single release in late May. It was renamed after her Insta post of RCS, the day after COCC was released. 
so… no, we don’t have an album name yet. But why do a printed magazine interview, with professional photoshoot, mentioning the album if it wasn’t coming sonner rather than later? Keep in mind though that the music industry is having a hard time with their schedule (every damn artist recorded during the pandemic and vinyl supply chains can’t meet demand - didn’t Lana herself said it took now five months for vinyls to be made? We’re far from the 90-day period between finishing an album and release, in the LFL era), but I think a single before end of summer is realistic. She’s been real quiet in the past weeks, before her trip, and Jack is going back on tour. Plus the interview gave me the impression that the direction of this album was set and has been only « recently »; before that, last year and early winter, she was maybe more casually recording? 
so what do you think?

DNC is gonna stand for something so random like if she wore a NFR jacket in 2018 raise your hand if you could've predicted what that meant

I like the beach cover idea, but idk I feel like a cover where Lana's reading a book on an armchair, fully glammed up would also be cool?

TRACK 11
 

Manifesting Loved You Then and Now track 8

lana cannot be having this much fun n absolutely serving the way she has been if she didnt have a masterpiece of an album in her back pocket rn  i NEED it

I’ve been lurking on Lana’s April Instagram posts to see if there’s anything to indicate her headspace when recording that Jack song that will likely end up on LDR9
 
imagine if “Peach Fuzz” or “if you want a little more…chill a little more” are titles/lyrics. Iconic
 
 

she revealed the album title and cover @honeymoon!! i love how she included her friends on the cover 

Of course, BoZ is talking about Dua and Caroline P on Twitter 

someone leak Loved You Then and Now and BoZ's favorite Blue Banisters track before she scrapped it to hold us over 

I'm not gonna be too heartbroken if we don't get the album this year just because we literally got 2 albums last year. I'm all for a slow, gradual rollout if that rollout isn't as messy as NFR (literally if it's anything like the NFR rollout I might cry that was so...)

the more i think abt the album's few (possible) clues and how it might all come together, the more it seems so ambitious to me - i fear we might be in for an experimental, hypnotic, spiritual, highly conceptual masterpiece  automatic writing, the unconscious, surrealism, old hollywood, hysteria, poetry, honeymoon's lush orchestral production?? brian eno and david lynch could never  manifesting so hard 

I really like this. I can see the cover being something like that cause the b&w matches the vibe of the "stream of consciousness" type of record she seems to be going for (even though it's Lana and we know she's not the best as describing her own music so maybe we are getting something more carefree in sound even if the lyrics are on the complex side)

I don’t think it’s the difference in opinion that’s fucking absurd here
 
its the fact that people will bash a tease of a song that we haven’t heard just because the producer said he started playing piano when she started ad libing 
 
where does the energy to be so fucking negative come from when we literally haven’t heard anything

i used to dislike lfl but I don’t come around fucking shit talking it every time someone mentions it
 
Get some new ideas 
 
and btw we know at this point it’s not the producer that’s making these decisios, it’s Lana 
 
so if you’re going to hate someone it’s her, and at that point you’re not a fan so keep your mouth shut 

almost all songs start with a piano just to figure out the melody… plus he literally said he was ALSO playing with 808s during that session. i swear some of you see the word “piano” n ur brain just shuts off 

That picture will never fail to crack me up
