Valentine’s Day is a time of year when it’s cold (very cold). Heart-shaped boxes of chocolates line the shelves of drugstores in shades of pink and red , and if you’re not in love or have had your heart broken, it’s a little too cold to be happy.
But this year—the year ofthe sexy Wuthering Heightswith Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi— those with broken hearts can turn Valentine’s Day into (slightly) dark romantic poetry. There’s nothing more romantic than daydreaming about an ex or acrush whilelistening to Lana del Rey.
Ic3y Mag’s Listening Roomsat Galerie Foil, “Born to Die,” listening to an album like a movie character
Ic3y Mag, Montreal’s coolest music magazine, also organizes Listening Rooms tolisten to entire albums in a zero-distraction environment. It’s a bit like sitting in the back seat of your parents’ car at night when you were 14—iPod nano on your lap, headphones on your ears, and eyes on the fields rolling by in the moonlight.
Ic3y Mag brings back theflow state oflistening to music in a world that wants us to experience the full poetry of an album during a subway ride.Listening Rooms aredark, comfortable, and free of chatter or outside influences.
What’s more, the“Born to Die”Listening Roomis hosted at Montreal’s coolest café-gallery,Galerie Foil.

This is possibly the best way to listen to Lana del Rey’s most romantic album, a cult classic for first loves (and those that follow), broken loves, future loves, and broken hearts.
