havent listened to anything after Warlord in '16 so i need to catch up with this moniker and his other ones

 

warlord is sick, but he's gotten so much better! you have a lot of catching up to do but it's worth it for sure.

was this announced beforehand? also yeah it is very emotional, like as emo as his quarantine live perfomance

I actually was hoping for more visuals this era, because remember when he posted on twitter like every song from the album with a short clip, but if we don't get any it's also fine, outta my head mv was amazing

it was announced a while ago! but it kinda flew under the radar. it was supposed to be premiering at the Tribeca film festival earlier this year but for obvious rona-related reasons that didn't happen  but now it's finally coming and im so fkn excited! omg his show at the back of the truck will always kill me 

 

and same - outta my head was incredible, my agenda was sooooo fucking sick too! i sorta feel like there's gonna be a starz movie, kinda like he did with stranger. i'm 99% sure he filmed something for butterfly paralysed so hopefully we'll see that at least?? also a tour soon pls leandoer pls

Poison Ivy is wayyyyy up there w my fav Lean projects, its soooo underrated by fans!! It's perfect for this time of year. Listening to Trashy in the cold while ur half drunk >>>>

 

I rly hope there'll be a way to watch the film online - lockdown means its not premiering in cinemas over here 

[daphnedinkley 13,487]

In My Head is finally out in UK cinemas tomorrow and im travelling two hours to go watch it  super fucking excited

I'm obsessed with "Yayo"

my people 

 

did we like stardust ?? its prob my 2nd fav of his now, it feels like an accumulation of all his diverse influences. like the На заре sample in bliss or the burial tribute instrumental of lips.

yes!! Lips is probs my fav on there. always so nice to have more yung lean fans on lanaboards 

 

no word of a lie when i saw that picture of lana and lean together semi-recently i literally had to take a few days break from the internet bc my heart physically could not take it  i was so fkn shook. i honestly think they'd work so well together, i can imagine them on a Stargirl Interlude type song

 

also cant wait to see him in November!! this'll be my 4th time  i saw a drain gang show earlier this year and if im being honest as much as i love those boys the crowd was fkn insufferable for the first time ever, so im hoping that atmosphere doesnt carry over to the lean show!

Decided to try his music again. Unknown Death was ok, some bad songs but I only listened to it out of curiosity and plus Friendzone produced the albums closer. Listening to Unknown Memory rn and its way better imo. Theres a progression of evolution here.

yay love this! Unknown Death is def a bit of an outlier in his discography in terms of quality, it's definitely the most amateur of his full-length records (which i guess makes sense) and like you said, Unknown Memory is vastly superior. after UM there's Warlord which returns to the somewhat darker vibes of UD but with the upgraded production of UM, although some of the songs on there (especially the bonus tracks) do start to reach UD levels of messy obnoxiousness  but if you liked Solarflare (the UD closer you mentioned) that might actually appeal to you (i love Solarflare btw, no shade intended!) - Hoover is darker than Solarflare but is an interesting take on the 'overcrowded but melodic' style of production, and God Only Knows takes on the same style of production but with a much more shameless balls-to-the-wall noisy sensibility.

 

if you liked Unknown Memory i'd recommend checking out Stranger, i've always felt like it's a more mature, slow-burn version of Unknown Memory! really unexpected from Lean at the time and surprisingly his lyricism really starts to shine here. or if you'd like to listen to something a little shorter, the Poison Ivy EP is absolutely amazing imo, so atmospheric and enticing - particularly the latter half of the tracklist!

 

(sorry if you've already listened to all this stuff before and i'm just being silly!)

I already know of Hoover bc that was the first song I stumbled on by Lean haha. Need to listen tho. I've been listening to Frost God for the past hour and I love it tbh. But I'll take your recommendations! I'm still navigating his discog.

 

Also LOVE how Yung Lean and Ferg named a city after me 😍😍😍 (Crystal City is fire ngl)

[lakeemmahottie 1,611]

Starz is rlly rlly good waaaait might be a fan

[lakeemmahottie 1,611]

Almost finished stranger. Defo my fave next to Frost God.

[lakeemmahottie 1,611]

Idk what made me do so but I've almost finished most of his discog. An I welcomed as a stan?

[lakeemmahottie 1,611]

Finished his discography. My top 3 faves are:

 

1. Unknown Memory 

2. Stranger 

3. Frost God

 

I also love Starz and Lavender EP. Warlord is also really good but a bit inconsistent so I might reorganise the tracklist. Stardust was cute but probably his least cohesive album overall. And then Unknown Death is my least fave but has a few songs I like.
