QueenOfHearts

i've said this already & imma say it again:
 
- Venice Bitch
- White Dress
- Heroin

Is it me or does Ben sound genuinely excited about the album? His posts - and spamming under Lana's IG posts, lol - back in May + his recent post about the album being nearly completed + his reply to Lana yesterday and the interaction with fans...I don't know. I know she's his client, but his enthusiasm feels quite genuine this time round.
 
Anyway, hoodies + DNC jacket + Donoghue + tits out + automatic singing + orchestra + waves + IDGAF attitude + spending time with family + Rob sneaking into the studio + Antonoff and 808s = ???
Whatever LDR9 ends up sounding like, it's going to be a ride. 

okay but this makes so much sense. don’t think it’s real but she should read this and do it because it’s a genius take

I totally agree. There's definetly something special about the post. It reads as a farewell (the swan, the love you forever comment...) but what if she's deactivating HM too...  (unmanifesting right away).
Or maybe Lana and Ben were just bored and wanted to interact a bit with us and that's it 

I like the fact that some of you picked Music to Watch Boys To as one of the songs to "describe" LDR9. I would have chosen that one too because I like the tropical feel it transpires, that's what Honeymoon and Lust for Life kinda had in my opinion. 2015-6 really had something of a South American, Cuban vibe that I love for and from her. 

i really wish she would suddenly activate instagram and give the name and cover 

Now you say that ... the post was kind of special, with extra commentary (❤️UForeva), Ben's comment and replies to fans. She posted pictures from her youth before, like last year when she started posting on Honeymoon after a long break. The hoodie was also an unusual choice compared to her dresses and flannels.

Too good to be true. She never addressed why she left social media and I still wonder what's her "other ventures" are. 

A fan account on Twitter had an interesting theory about the swan emoji from her last IG post: what if that post is the « Swan song » / last post on her HM account and the next post, she’ll reactivate her LDR main account? 
of course it would mean that she’d have to - gasp - have planned that ahead and it wouldn’t change (and we all know we don’t Stan Taylor at this point )

its criminally underrated. the slowly fading piano synths compliment the feel of the song so insanely well ! her best outro yet

the production of the title track is SO UNDERRATED, literally... its so minimalistic but so on point i can feel the sadness in the way that she sings and the piano synths..

i want something in the vein of blue banisters… minimal & somber production, wordy lyrics, emotional vocal delivery, melancholic melodies 

lana sweetie u can do it wherever you want , just give me another heroin 

i'm so excited for this new era

Even if she releases another slower and moody album I don't think it means it's all she's going to release from now on. NFR was only 3 years ago.
We know she's capable of jumping between genres in short periods of time (BTD - UV - HM) but it also makes sense that if she's in a similar mindset personally and artistically the music is going to be somehow similar (and I still think NFR, Chemtrails and BB are different enough to not sound stale or not "evolving").
 
All we know right now is that there's orchestra and that she recorded at least one piano song with Jack but every album of hers has at least one piano ballad so I don't think it's really indicative of anything  

I had a dream Lana moved to West Virginia to become a Mountain Woman and only released folk music every seven years on a different full moon. She did have a chuech tho where she ministered wvery sunday and it was chock full of gays who made their way to Appalachia for service. She was still dating Jack tho. He grew sheep

vibes manifesting

I don’t see what people mean about text book having avant garde elements? 

Fiona apple isn’t even particularly experimental or avant garde tbh. 
massive attack, Sophie and tons of other artists trump her in that regard-she’s mostly a jazz influenced piano player with some other influences.

Ive also been wondering a lot about this, considering her departure from social media and her overall prog from her career start to now. I’ve always thought and kind of been strangely content at how blue banisters concluded the cycle of her relationship w fame, and w the delving more into family, and conversational and poetry, it makes me wonder what n where all this exploration is going to have the music arrive to. 

I don’t know just from the very little info we have the REAL gut feeling vibe I’m getting is a continuation of Arcadia. The lyrics and the overall tone Lana had during the interview where she discussed them just give me that feeling. We shall see though. Not necessarily expecting copy/paste but a similar feel/vibe. 

anyone who says there's a reliable insider on lanaboards never been on here 

LDR9 Expectations
- 13 Beaches 
- The Blackest Day 
- The Greatest 
 
Reality 
- Beautiful 
- For Free
- Black Lives Matter from Text Book
 

- Cinnamon Girl 
- Heroin 
- Brooklyn Baby 
 
I miss the dreamy production. If the record resembles any of her older tracks, these gotta be it. 

My semi realistic wishes/wants for LDR9 are moody, introspective, smoldering, spacey. Honestly these vibes can be achieved with different types of production. Hoping for something a little more grand orchestral wise with some ambient synths with some moments of jazziness. 
 
Either way we shall see. Hoping we get real info soon.
 
Hoping the Neil thing is related but I think it’s most likely something in relation to his own work, non Lana related. The image is very reminiscent of his spirit collection. 

I thought something’s happened and it’s just you guys picking the songs
