Lana Del Rey - Norman Fucking Rockwell (2019)

seems increasingly albums are announced a few days before release or five tracks are doled out over a sic month period

i missed this sublime thing. jesus lana.

Ha I loved the sublime cover and would probably love a cherry poppin daddies cover if she actually made one.

I barely knew or cared about the sublime original; so that probably affects my feelings towards it.

Yeah I’d never heard of them, turns out they had one song in the charts, at number 71 for one week, in the UK.

ok cherry poppin daddies are fucking terrible we're not going to do revisionism on that bullshit. at least have enough self respect to say squirrel nut zippers

even if you are a "we stan a legend" Twitter weirdos there is a limit

She could do a 90s EP of "What It's Like" and a slow ethereal "All Star" and...

Can totally see her doing a sultry cover of Flagpole Sitta.

Fingertips have memories
Mine can't forget the curves of your body
And when I feel a bit naughty
I run it up the flagpole and see who salutes (But no one ever does)

album 'out in two months'!

glad to have some news at last

I was beginning to get concerned that the record company was squashing it or something.

Out August 30th

oh man, that cover is dumb. first dumb album art from her too

I love that they probably spent a ton of time making it look like it was done in 10 minutes in Photoshop.

fucked her way to the shop

her best album cover by a long shot imo

is Cinnamon Girl a cover?

also doing a Charlie's Angels thing w Ariana Grande and Miley Cyrus, which.....sure

Needs a bit more Lichtenstein.

I'm so glad that Mariners Apartment Complex and Venice Bitch made the album.

the twist in the tile is that Norman and Rockwell are two different people

Doin Time was a surprise.. a cover as the 4th song on an album seems kinda haphazard but whatevs.

That's Jack Nicholson's *grandson* btw..

ramming speed, starring lee as speed

the hand on the cover has the vibe of 3D posters and comics

is Cinnamon Girl a cover?

nah, she's posted some snippets of it to her instagram already

her albums are mostly v haphazardly sequenced, it bugs me every time!

lol the cover art is pretty bad

interesting that "best american record" is on there, hasn't a demo of that been floating around forever?

extremely excited to hear the lana del rey song entitled "california"

oh good, tour dates popping up and she's playing Berkeley. the last time I saw her down at the shoreline it was a fucking disaster as it always is (traffic, overcrowding).

extremely excited to hear the lana del rey song entitled "california"

i was recently mentioning to someone how i thought "venice bitch" is the most ldr song title ever without crossing into self-parody territory. "california" on the other hand...

As much as I love her, she seems like kind of a terrible live act, not a lot of gravity, and tons of canned vocals.

she was better than I expected when I saw her.

Very tempted to go, assuming she makes it out here.

Jack Antonoff has tweeted to say 'The Greatest' is his favorite of the new songs, adding 'just wait'.

I guess the Sublime song is on the album after all.

I like the album cover, it’s weird and fun

thinking about going to this show!

New song written and recorded over the past day:

https://www.stereogum.com/2053762/lana-del-rey-new-song-looking-for-america-mass-shootings/video/

song was released yesterday, along with her cover of season of the witch from a soundtrack; both are really good! also: her tickets for her show in Berkeley mysteriously sold out on ticketmaster within 5 seconds but were plentiful on stubhub with a 10% markup. Why isn't anyone investigating Ticketmaster after that Metallica leak?

"Fuck It I Love You" is good but "The Greatest" is next-level

Interesting! I got bored of "The Greatest" before it was half through yet like "Fuck It I Love You."

the latter has some of those sweet guitars I'm hoping there's a lot more of on the album (someone should give her a no-pianos rule for the next one)

Can't believe how much The Greatest has that Rutles-y Cheese And Onions flavour

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePaHG6g7uFw

wow, wtf. had to stop listening to that lest i get too used to the association.

ahahaha

lol omg

I like these two (and the video) but aren’t there a lot of singles from the new album already (7?) ? Is it gonna be a double or something ? Otherwise there might not be a lot left to discover...

there's been 6 so far ("looking for america" isn't on the album) but the album is 14 tracks and out in a week, so still 8 new tracks

Oh ok, thanks !
Almost half out already then... but I like all of them so looking forward to hearing the rest !

The piano outro to « The Greatest » is so warm and lovely.
