Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread

[Paris Hilton 9,845]

in 17hrs and 33min we are getting the pre order

[SweetHenny 14,579]

I actually lowkey don't want anything else to come out before the album drops and hope that it's just pre-order and nothing else tomorrow. We already seem to have heard more than we should have

[ChaoticLipster 24,618]

Some stans, they want the same thing over and over. Same car, same outfit. She’s done 4 albums with cars time to move on. It’s boats now!

[Golden Hour 5,187]

Does anyone remember how long it took for the Honeymoon UO exclusive vinyl to be put up? I wanna pre-order the vinyl tomorrow, but I can’t afford to pre-order two copies. Lol.

[Anita Malfatti 2,981]

The back cover is so well done, I’m listening to VB looking at it and it really fits the mood, it almost feels like you’re in the sea listening to the guitar chords

[Paris Hilton 9,845]

I think the album will be available for pre order on the first week of august or the last week of july

 

in the meantime, leak venice bitch instrumental + acapella

 

im psychic

I don’t care about cars or anything else, only that it’s aesthetically pleasing and photography worthy of an artist of her caliber. And for me, this album art isn’t, just as LFL’s was not.

This one is cute...

[cherryblossoms 10,415]

Tf is that tracklist

[WildMustang 14,759]

One thing for sure : I'm not listening to the new songs until we get the album, I don't want 3/4 being spoiled

[Paris Hilton 9,845]

I love this one! Who made it?

[bummersummer 2,218]

can someone break down the cover for me? i mean, who is this actor duke nicholson, why is he in the picture? can you remember when she was in this outfil (+ yellow nails)? Is the burning land a reference to the fire in california last (?) year? Is the painted sky a reference to rockwell? do you think something besides the background was photoshopped (bc the light on Lana's face is pretty much different than the other objects)? sorry if u already discussed this i literally missed 50+ pages in these 2 hours i guess

 

he's the grandson of jack nicholson, who was a significant figure in the hollywood counterculture of the 60/70s; why she picked him specifically is anyone's guess.

pretty sure the burning land represents the california fires, yeah. she posted a lot about them when the last crisis was ongoing, so maybe she was affected/inspired by them. not the first time they inspire LA writers/artists.

idk if the sky is a direct reference to rockwell or just to painting in general, bc it's not in rockwell's painting style at all. she mentioned painting a while ago so maybe she painted it herself? lol idk.

i don't think the photo itself was photoshopped; imo the different light in lana's face is intentional and maybe done in post-prod to highlight her from the rest of the (p busy) cover.

her head looks too big

I'm not sure, @normanrockwhale posted it on twitter, said it was the urban outfitters version? 

[coccdestroyer 381]

really like the cover, but the lettering :/ I would prefer a textless cover tbh. LOVE the back cover tho

[Downtown Baby Doll 5,310]

The cover looks so much better with the dude’s face cut off. Like it could be any guy and it’s up to whoever’s looking at the cover to decide who it is. His face and that damn font are so distracting.

[annedauphine 35,879]

Has probably been said but just when we thought it was a car she pulls out a boat... Queen of being random

[SweetHenny 14,579]

Can't wait to delete Doin' Time from the tracklist when the album is released 

[cherryblossoms 10,415]

Should have been textless AND black and white. The power.

 

Omg this is actually iconic

[Bootynugget 2,926]

Ouf the album cover has already grown on me. 

I'm predicting the colored vinyl will be orange idk why.
