Escapism

I don't know if it's just me but the new image reminds me a lot of some scenes from Twin Peaks, specifically:

i like how people are freaking out over the witchcraft thing and im just sitting here like

holy this is beautiful chuck and neil need to take notes

Honestly I love Neil and Chuck, but based on what Lana said about the album, I'm a little worried about the photoshoot I actually love a lot of Chuck's work- Tropico, National Anthem, etc. and now come to think of it, she may actually be one of my favorite Lana photographers Neil's work was amazing during the UV era in terms of fitting with the albums theme (honestly just thinking about it, makes my heart melt). Honeymoon on the other hand... I just don't know what's wrong, I don't know why I dislike it, but I just do. I think one issue is, is Chuck's work, it's some of her worst that I've seen. I don't think all the photos are bad, but a good portion of them just aren't the best. I actually like Neil's stuff, but I feel as if it was all over the place and a couple of the photos looked like they could be UV outtakes. I don't know there's just something about his work that just wasn't as good as UV. Then combining them together was just a mess. I mean, I guess we get two different perspectives, but it's just odd looking at the entire photoshoot side by side. I don't know I'm sure someone else could explain it better.

the leather jacket and boots are givin' me some UV era vibes

Does anybody remember that Lana record player contest/raffle that was on instagram for the HM era over a year ago??? I remember seeing it and I forgot to like it, so when instagram refreshed I never saw it again. I'm pretty sure it was real and it was a Crosley record player, it had one of Neil's photos I think it was this one

Well that sucks. But, thank you for the information- it's nice to know that they at least considered doing a pressing.

ok but why hasn't ghost been pressed on vinyl or gotten a bootleg vinyl, like i'd be ready to spend my coins on that

LARINA

I honestly am kinda hoping Lana is smiling for the cover of this album, she has such a gorgeous smile. Plus it'd be such a nice change from the pout.

Marina also liked a tweet saying "The songwriting thing too, Jesus. Adele's album features Max Martin, Shellback, Ryan Tedder, Greg Kursin...Collaboration is good!" I mean Lana did say this album was for us and honestly I'd say Marina is pretty high up their when it comes to fans begging for a collab, plus Marina has talked about collaborating with her before. However, I doubt this would happen, I mean, I don't know- I just think all these years of wishing and it coming true would be way too unreal. I feel like their voices could actually work together or their songwriting, but I wouldn't be sure what to expect, I'd probably be taken so far back I'd be in a distant galaxy with Luke Skywalker. I'd also be here for a collab with The Neighbourhood, but I'm 99% sure that's not going to happen. I am however expecting a collab with A$AP or The Weeknd, possibly Alex Turner. Honestly, though, I'm just excited for this album and I think she'll pull through.

the idea of her and marina having a collab would just

My bad xx

I know someone posted it on twitter and then deleted it, but I never saw it.

the first single is out and we still dont even know the title of the album, but im just happy we got something but im still hoping we get the title

this is my first finished attempt at a manip so mess! i'm not entirely happy with it but it'll do xx

Honestly boxset wise I'm hoping it's a mix of what we've already gotten (Ik that we'd probably never get anything like this but..) - An exclusive vinyl-whether it be picture disc, a certain color, etc. CD Picture disc single A lyric booklet with parts of the photoshoot (like HM) And of course prints And personally, if I were doing a boxset version I'd probably make the cover and gatefold different as well (but normally UO does that and unless it matters that there's 3 different covers...). I'd probably also add in some BTS polaroid photos (looking at the James Franco book) and her thoughts while writing the album or something. idk. but with the HM's boxset, I'm keeping my expectations low, it was cute but I don't think it's as good as her previous boxsets

I'm kind of excited for the Mad Hatter video but at the same time I feel like she might overdo the "I'M CRAZY" mindset, I understand it's apart of the character and it's supposed to be exaggerated but like yikes (looking at the perfume milk commercial and alphabet boy). It just seems super tryhard sometimes, i guess and I don't see the point of it being used as often as it is which is probably why I dislike it sometimes. I do hope that she goes down the American Mcgee Alice route if she wants to make it creepy, I think it could really work.

Paradise is honestly great and I don't understand why it gets so much hate! Also it pisses me off when people do the "before and after" comparison photos for plastic surgery and they use photos that aren't even in the same angle or use a candid and then a heavily edited picture from a photoshoot. things like this:

I actually love her covers as well, she's always able to add her own essence to it (blue velvet, the other woman, etc.)

honestly this. i hope we get at least one picture disk vinyl this year- whether it be one for the album like BTD and UV had or one for a single

Lana commented on someones instagram (I forgot who) who were saying that Eclipse was lying about talking to Lana and she said something like "I did talk to this person".
