Smiling Lana just intensifies her persona as the Naomi Watts audition scene in Mullholland Drive

i thought i didn't like honeymoon, but then i put it on today and remembered that it had my two favorite ldr songs: terrence + blackest day. i think the album loses me on the stretch of high by the beach/freak/art deco which are imo admirable attempts at trip-hop with modern trap beats, but they largely don't do anything for me.
forgive my ignorance of the genre, but are there any other triphop acts with trap-style beats?

"terrence loves you" might be my favorite lana song. it's truly transcendent.

i was lukewarm on that album when it first came out but it's grown on me a lot, the point where I prefer it to Ultraviolence (though I still think West Coast is probably my favorite song of hers)

The font is called "Loretta Lynn" xpost

Ultraviolence is great because it's very committed to its particular style - and it rarely deviates from being a sublime come-down album.

(i like this a lot)
The way she sings, "take off, take off, take off all your clothes" reminds me so much of the, "hello hello" bit in Without You from Born To Die. That's also the bit that Taylor Swift borrowed for Wildest Dreams.
This new album is shaping up very nicely. Really hope that rumoured May 26th release date is right.

I like both new songs. Reading that she's really into the mixing process and is very particular about it was cool, maybe more women (musicians or otherwise) should interview female musicians

Any artist who cites Shangri-Las as an influence on their new record is cool with me

re: the font, I don't recognize that specific one, but it's very reminiscent of Bookman Swash Italic which was all over the place in the '70s.

I was skeptical of the Weeknd collab, but I think it works well. They share that decadent, sleazy vibe -- a more natural fit than him w/Beyonce, e.g.

Hate the Weeknd collaboration, and the fact that the album also includes collaborations with Sean Lennon and Stevie Nicks has me basically running the other way.

she hasn't done an album of collabs before like this, so I'm fine with it as long as that's not what she does from now all the time

It's taken several years; I started cracking in January after prolonged exposure to "West Coast" in my work environment.

I kinda suspect she's like Antony/ANOHNI for me -- someone a lot of people I know go "GAH" over (not to mention open Marc Almond fandom, usually a good sign for me) that makes me go "I guess the trappings are okay?" because the songs aren't much. I can see why the fandom exists, but I have no need.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 30 April 2017 14:08 (six years ago) link
That's always the way I've felt until this title track.
― Spencer Chow, Sunday, 30 April 2017 14:47 (six years ago) link
Interesting; ANOHNI is definitely a "you've got to be fucking kidding me" artist for me, but I have basically loved everything LDR's done since the Paradise EP (I liked a lot of Born To Die, but it's patchy and definitely her weakest album).
― Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr, and Violent J (誤訳侮辱), Sunday, 30 April 2017 15:06 (six years ago) link
her songwriting chops have grown so much since that album. "Honeymoon" and "God Knows I Tried" sound like standards.

OK, "political" LDR is the funniest LDR yet. Reminds me of when Christina Applegate's character on Married...With Children started a cable access show called Vital Social Issues 'n' Stuff - With Kelly.

lana's capitalism fetish has always been political whether she knows it or not. this song is outrageous po-faced self-parody just when you'd think she couldn't do any more of that. she rhymes coachella with hella. i love her.
also only just finally bothered to listen to "love" and uh i love that too. the cash register on the chorus absolutely kills me.
― difficult listening hour, Monday, 15 May 2017 12:22 (six years ago) link
What a strange song. I read that she only wrote and recorded it a few weeks ago.
Is the album still supposed to be coming on May 26th? Seems weird that she hasn't officially announced it yet.
― kitchen person, Monday, 15 May 2017 13:04 (six years ago) link
Her tone is appropriate to the material. I laughed a couple times.

#'s 10 & 11 are great "I've Got My Own Album To Do"-style song titles.
And is #14 a cover of you-know-what?
