I’m just unsure how much sense it would make to get a jacket like that with a poem title abbreviation on it..hmm

For anyone with an ATRL account, does this person saying DNC is unrelated seem like an actual insider? Like do you think they’ve ever leaked something original before others?

I’ve never seen them give any kind of ‘insider’ info before

But how can that insider know it's not album related? I mean it can be a song she wrote and hasn't even recorded yet. The album is probably still months away, it's not like there's a final tracklist floating around the label people 

not to mention Lana literally gave us the BB cover in July and BOZ was still saying the album title was changed 

 

insiders don’t seem to know much about Lana’s plans anymore

Ok, my hype has returned. I definitely think DNC is important. If we don’t hear anything from a verified insider, I’ll assume it’s album- or (at the very least) poetry-related..hopefully lol

i still believe that "DNC" is related to ldr9 or another project in some way, there's no reason for paul to be cryptic about it if it's just a random acronym for a california location or something, as well as the comment about the jacket potentially becoming merch, maybe that atrl user was just making a guess, not that they're actually "in the know", especially so early on in the album's creation

[PatentLeatherDoOver 25,783]

As a side-note, I don’t think DNC is related to the Harry Nilsson cover. I went through his entire discography available on Wiki, and there’s not a single song with those letters in the title!

[DeadSeaOfMercury 23,279]

She meant DMC, That way she can use a Delorean on the cover 

I think imma faint…

When it comes to the DNC thing, I'll take the word of someone who literally made the jacket and photographed Lana in it over someone on ATRL any day

I know we don’t have a ton to go on, but a week ago, I wouldn’t have thought the thread would be at this point for a few months!
 

Something is brewing

[American Whore 51,677]

watch this whole time, Elle actually knew but was asked to keep it on the DL bc Lana might want it to be a surprise 

 

conspiracy lanaboards for LDR9 starts 

[IanadeIrey 62,141]

In my opinion,  DNC is either a title acronym or — given its association with the wave graphic — is a place in California that is important to a new album. Like, I would compare this DNC jacket to a hypothetical situation wherein Lana was spotted with Hilton Hotel memorabilia prior to Arcadia’s release.
 

So DNC could be an acronym for something, or she’s likely teasing a reference to a place that is integral to a song.

 

Look at the context clues: this jacket is the most custom it can get, but its design is based heavily on the not-custom-at-all Venice jacket from 2019 — down to the colour, font of the lettering, and wave motif.

 

But also, the Venice Bitch shirt and Yosemite shirt were direct hints, so really, it could be either one

The straws grasping is back in full force and I'm here for it.

Remember Emile on his way to Mike in the studio? 

[American Whore 51,677]

i'm not over blue banisters yet i'm not i'm not lana the fact you're doing this shit and i'm still noticing little things in black bathing suit like the vocal layering at the end. I NEED THAT SHIT TO RETURN TO THIS ALBUM PLEASE

I remember that of all things, which is exactly why I'm not too worried about the Jack Antonoff discourse.

This is such a good point! It almost makes me wonder if she’s been there in the past few months or so. Her Instagram has been deactivated for a while, but I wonder if Del Norte County (assuming that’s the acronym) has cropped up in any of her previous posts
 

Then again, maybe it’s a “Venice Bitch” situation where it may not necessarily be centered around a specific memory there…if that makes any sense lol
