actually relevant info about the writing of albums etc etc

Is it normal that my Lana village order from the 22/10/2021 is still sitting on ‘Shipping Label Created, USPS Awaiting Item,’ with no change since the 8th of November?

literally everything that i ordered from the aus store got canceled... every single thing i PAID for, so it wasn’t because of payment they just said everything was delayed. even my signed card got canceled 🤷🏼‍♀️

Oh god... that's got me super nervous

It is a little blurry, but not pixelated. It feels intentional though so it doesn’t bother me.

I got my yellow vinyl too. Took ages but you’ll get an email notification when it’s out for delivery. 

I think I'll be waiting till the White Vinyl is in stock! 

Has anyone who ordered from the Australian store received their White Vinyl yet?

The Australian store sent you confirmation of posting??!! I have heard nothing!?? 

I've heard nothing from the Australian store since being told of the delay back on the 27th of October - however I have another friend who received their Yellow vinyl and another who got a shipping notification for theirs. I haven't received either... I think it's because the AU store has the Yellow vinyl, not the white vinyl and I chose to ship both together, where as my friend selected ship separately?

i’m so worried my blue banisters vinyls are gonna get canceled or something it’s been a week and nothing has shipped from her australian store 🙄

I've got the same worry! Also haven't heard anything from the Australian store about the vinyls since I got the email to say they were delayed  

Can we PLEASEE have some guitars. I got so excited thinking that Zach Dawes was a primary producer for BB, but there's almost no guitars on the album. 

Less Mike Dean, less Drew Erickson and more Zach please!!

I don’t know if I should be worried but the tape turned black after playing it (????)

That's the normal colour of a tape - the clear part is just the leader which can't be recorded on. 

I just got this email: 

BLUE BANISTERS EXCLUSIVES!

Lana's Blue Banisters drops at midnight! Shop now for these new LDR Village exclusives. Free gift with purchase for the first 1,000 customers!

I'm so confused..... I placed a village order a few hours ago... didn't get anything and BB dropped yesterday? 

So do we think that there won't be any other vinyl variants?

I didn't even like Venice Bitch to begin with. It's not only piano, his electronic sound on NFR! was simply ugly. No offence to him, it's just certain artists don't necessarily match with certain producers. I do like his contribution to Masseduction, Melodrama, Daddy's Home etc. though. Also, Lana's voice is so so much better here. It feels like her again, previously it was if she was trapped someplace else, for real. When I listen to this album now, I might not be fully content with the instrumental sound, but her voice does remind me of Lust for Life or Paradise, finally; I missed her.

 

I am yet after first listen but I quite enjoy this record. Also it's the first time I'm hearing Dealer. Such an interesting tune. 

I guess tastes and opinions. NFR is in my humble opinion, Lana's best work, it's her Opus Magnum and the sound is honestly amazing!  Chemtrails wasn't as good but close. 

I'm not totally on board with BB yet.. I'm only onto my second listen.

Well, but BB kinda proves that "stripped back" does not necessarily has to mean flat songs with the depth of a dinner plate. Compare the impact of tracks like Violets For Roses, Wildflower Wildfire or Arcadia to the emptyness of Not All Who Wander Are Lost, Wild At Heat or LMLYLAW.

Well on first listen the whole album feels flatter than songs like Wild at Heart...

No hate to Jack. But this is MILES ahead of COCC.

The problem with Jack is not his production..its his equipment and the mixing is horrible ...??? The microphone is shit. It muffles Lana's vocals too much. It is like some angsty poor teen microphone 

I think COCC is ahead of this and NFR is well ahead, though I need to give it some time. 

I've never had a problem with Jack's mixing and equipment! 

Can all the jack haters now realise that if anyone is pushing a piano based stripped down sound, it’s Lana.

Why is this release such a train wreck? 

The UK Universal music store is down... wonder if that means anything?

i did not but you clearly missed the point dumbo 

What, I missed the point that you're whinging that there are songs we already know on the new album, when this is the SECOND album she's put in 7 months?

taking one unreleased/unfinished demo for a new album and turning it into old money is hardly the same as putting 4-5 nearly unchanged leaks on an album tho 

Did you miss the fact she's giving us TWO albums this year? TWO?

Sam at Turntable Lab wrote me back and said they're not sure what color the indie exclusive vinyl will be, but they don't think it's the red Target variant the other indie stores are copy-pasting. Might we get a blue vinyl yet?  I'm so excited. Here's the full email for you guys:

 

Thanks for reaching out!

I'm not sure yet. We haven't received a shoot copy and there isn't a Discogs page for this pressing yet. Other sites look like they've just copied and pasted the red Target exclusive, which I'm assuming is not going to be the color for the indie exclusive.

Best,
Sam

I just received the same email ?

It could be the red version. Some online stores sell it as a 'Indie exclusive'

Possibly, though the image they've got is the standard cover. Could be they're just using a generic image though till they get more details...

ugh so are we really not getting a blue vinyl???

The only thing we know for certain is that the LDR Village won't be selling it, if it exists. Hasn't been comply ruled out!
