Few words from Lana during the Beats1 Radio interview earlier today about the title track:
Spoiler:
Quote:
Working with Jack, I was in a little bit of a lighter mood because he was so funny. So the title track is called 'Norman Fucking Rockwell' and it's kind of about this guy who's such a genius artist, he thinks he is the shit and he knows it and he won't shut up talking about it. So often I ended up with these creative types - or not, or whatever - and they just go on and on about themselves and I'm like yeah, yeah. But there's a little bit of merit to it, also. They are so good. I just like the title track so much that I was like OK, I definetely want the record to also be called like that.
In the song “Venice Bitch” there’s like another little reference to Norman Rockwell, which didn’t have to be in there. I don’t even remember if I threw it in there intentionally just to pop that message in a little further. I can’t even remember what I was thinking, but I think when I was writing this song, it was a more happy take on love and it was just sort of about like, “I tour, you write. We make it work.” And also you know I love having painter references because I think sometimes when you’re writing you’re sort of trying to paint these ideas into existence, because I’m very visual too. So yeah, I don’t know. I know it’s a crazy title, but that’s just the title of the record.

Along with the album, Lana will release a poetry book titled '
Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass." It's sheduled to release before her new album. It's has been a very busy year for Lana!
ALSO, today Lana released the music video for
Venice Bitch. The song is almost 10 minutes... so, wow.
She told Beats1 radio:

I played it for my managers and I was like 'yeah, I think this is the single I want to put out.' And they were like, 'it's 10 minutes long. Are you kidding me?' It's called 'Venice Bitch.' Like, why do you do this to us? Can you make a three-minute normal pop song? I was like, 'well, end of summer, some people just wanna drive around for 10 minutes, get lost in some electric guitar.'
