the thing about being stalked is that by its very nature it is risky to talk about it in public, lest that prompt further contact

But could a person as good intentioned as I not perhaps with my presence bring attention to the fact that something should change and that a singer with a loving energy can help shift the energetic vibration of a location for the higher good even if it’s just for a minute?— Lana Del Rey (@LanaDelRey) August 19, 2018
probably not her finest hour tbh.

this is really wonderful, a real extension of the kinds of songs I liked most on the last two albums. I love that she just releases shit whenever she feels like it on youtube.
― akm, Wednesday, 12 September 2018 23:57 (five years ago) link
Yeah, it's awesome how prolific she is. This is another brilliant single. New album coming in January apparently.

v nice song
― flappy bird, Thursday, 13 September 2018 18:47 (five years ago) link
i have to assume she must be really easy to work with, with the amount of backlogged and released material she always has ready. people don't clamor to work with someone who is a pain in the ass.
― akm, Thursday, 13 September 2018 19:18 (five years ago) link
that recent interview for lust for life made it seem like she was super chill
― Ross, Thursday, 13 September 2018 19:52 (five years ago) link
Gorgeous song
Kinda feel like Lana is one of those artists who writes the same song in a beautiful new way

Lana Del Rey Announces New Album Norman Fucking Rockwell
The 9-minute single “Venice Bitch” precedes the 2019 record

Elsewhere in the interview, Lana said that she she hopes to release a book of poems and short stories, under the working title Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass
― piscesx, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 17:09 (five years ago) link
haha. she really likes the word 'bitch'
― akm, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 17:10 (five years ago) link
uh wow i was totally not expecting this to be a 10 minute epic based on the teaser but this fucking rules
mariners apartment complex is also great, these are probably my favourite tracks of hers since ultraviolence so i am extremely hyped for norman fucking roswell and apparently the next single is out next month
really would not have expected her + antonoff to work so well, these tracks don't really have any of his trademarks and for the better
― ufo, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 17:26 (five years ago) link
this is pretty awesome? the music is surprisingly out there.

i think this is my favourite thing she's ever done. i am super glad she's finally going further in the direction of ultraviolence's guitar atmospherics

DAMN that song is great! Venice Bitch I mean. I love the other one too. Like I said great fucking album title. Listened to some stuff from Ultraviolence after these two tracks and it clicked for me in a way that it never had before.
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 22:15 (five years ago) link
Oh wow, Venice Bitch so great. I know I shouldn't be ungrateful as she's one of the most prolific artists around, but I really wish we didn't have to wait until the new year for the album.
― kitchen person, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 22:21 (five years ago) link
9 minute single tho
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 22:27 (five years ago) link
+ Mariners Apartment Complex
Yeah, this is great. The whole nine minutes weren't necessary (the 'solo' is kind of lame), but it's blissful all the same. She's inching towards who she aspires to be as an artist, one great song at a time. With Lana we all get to see her following that path, running but with the occasional stumble. Daring to be this vulnerable to open up and let the world see your cards, and pull it off with grace all the same... It's bare and honest. And the music is great. She's getting there.
― lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 18 September 2018 22:36 (five years ago) link
Venice Bitch is stunning start to finish.
Has anyone commented on the "out of context / apartment complex" rhyme from "Mariners" yet? I take it the similarity to the lines from The Postal Service's "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight" is not coincidental? (I mean, it's not the first song to use the "candle in the wind" metaphor either, but that one's much more generic.)
― dorsalstop, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 22:42 (five years ago) link
The chorus melody of "Venice Bitch" reminds me of the chorus of Lorde's "Writer in the Dark" (maybe due to Antonoff link?; or just coincidence).
― stan in the place where you work (morrisp), Tuesday, 18 September 2018 22:56 (five years ago) link
She’s so great. She reminds me of Roxy Music a lot and Venice Bitch is her Mother Of Pearl

love this
― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 23:59 (five years ago) link
ultraviolence is my favourite sprawling comedown record since Mazzy Star’s classic albums. Honeymoon is a curious follow up but it seems she found a good balance on the last one between her break out pop and later style
― Ross, Wednesday, 19 September 2018 01:26 (five years ago) link
Excited for this
Sacrilegious, I suppose, but "Venice Bitch" is too long. I prefer her hemmed in by Rick Nowels' structures.

If Sam Smith had to write Tom Petty a check for lifting I Won't Back Down, Chris Isaak is probably waiting by his mailbox for his after hearing Mariners Apartment Complex.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 19 September 2018 03:00 (five years ago) link
You can manually fade Venice Bitch out around 3:20 tbh. I wonder if there'll be a radio edit
― rip van wanko, Wednesday, 19 September 2018 03:07 (five years ago) link
Listening to Venice Bitch now. I like this A LOT more than Mariners Apartment Complex.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 19 September 2018 03:19 (five years ago) link
Holding out for January to hear these songs but all the love is reassuring. She’s one of the only artists that’s new that I buy the records physically and make a day of it

People have really come around to her haven't they? Or maybe these days the haytaz just stay away from the thread. Either way i'm happy about it.

I love this btw, one of my favorite songs by her ever.
