I really love the whole record. Unfortunately, due to Covid lockdown weirdness, I missed out on buying a LDR record on the moring of release for the first time since I became a fan just before Ulltraviolence, but streaming is serving ...

Pitchfork's review is actually fantastic. Very thoughtful and detailed. They praise the shit out of Black Bathing Suit and Sweet Carolina and also love Text Book, Dealer and Beautiful. It's a very good score. I mean,Β we know how stingy they are. But the review reads like a 8.5+ actually.Β

Almost done with Blue Banisters (song), really excited to see where the recordΒ goes after Arcadia/The Trio. The synths in BB are just stunning.

We made it :’)

Yeah pitchfork had some very nice things to say about her using older songs.Β 
Β 

Spoiler

Placed among modern transmissions like β€œBlack Bathing Suit,” β€œSweet Carolina,” and β€œText Book” (β€œThere we were, screaming, β€˜Black Lives Matter,’” she reflects) are songs like β€œLiving Legend” and β€œCherry Blossom,” titles that have circulated among her fanbase in unofficial form for years. These recordings, which date back as far as the sessions for 2014’sΒ Ultraviolence, constitute about a third of the tracklist, stretching the runtime past an hour and making the whole thing feel slightly unwieldy, off-balance, lacking the cohesion of her best albums.

Β 

And yet, these qualities also make the record stand out: a survey of Lana’s gifts, stripped of the aesthetic borders she often places around her work. It’s an approach that aligns her with the legacy artists she has always drawn fromβ€”Neil YoungΒ andΒ Bruce Springsteen, craftsmen constantly digging through the archives to recontextualize their mythology.Β
