I would love if this is true, but that’s a Tuesday which is more unusual than a Saturday release date. Also, they could be mixing it up with Violet’s hardcover release, as that comes out September 29th. Some stores also mixed up Violet’s vinyl release of October 2nd as the release date for COTCC so I think it’s a similar situation. But I would love if the record actually came out on the 29th! That would be amazing!

Yeah I'm pretty sure they're referring to the book, just some of the syntax is screwy.

"Even before the release of her seventh album on September 29, the singer will release a hardcover version of her first poetry collection, Violent Bent Backward Over the Grass, in e-books."

Also the entitlement here is palpable.

the cynical energy in this thread is toxic. she doesn't need to give us an update, why would there be a preorder for a surprise release? why would she give any info in advance (cover, tracklist, etc)? i know she's teased stuff and has kinda ruined the surprise by announcing it, but last we heard directly from her is the 5th. maybe she'll delay it but there's no evidence of that. The LFL may 21 and NFR mar 31 dates were never muttered by her at any point; the sept 5th COCC date was.

Also, the 12:12 thing was posted at 12:12am PST. Likely not a foreshadowing of anything at least in relation to that time

Actually, the moment a year ago that she said she was likely going to “just drop” WHF, even that statement made the eventual release a non-‘surprise release.’ Technically speaking 

I agree with that, she squandered the purity of the surprise by announcing it lol

She said surprise release and she gave us a date, with other things sprinkled in like vids and stuff. She doesn’t owe us constant updates and a schedule of every stage of the rollout. This era is exactly as it should be, she owes us nothing literally and it’s fucking amazing that she’s releasing another album so soon after her masterpiece. If it doesn’t come or is delayed, ok it’ll still come soon

Team realistic - LMLYLAW is coming in a few weeks, but nothing is being released on the 4th/5th at all, and the album is coming late October/early November with the video that day or the week after

your cynicism removes light from this already dark world
