I have a strong feeling the album cover will feature her with a plaid shirt similar to the ones she’s been wearing lately, blonde of course. She must’ve shot the cover sometime between the last week of June/first week of July and now - basically when she painted her nails blue and got lash extensions and let the blonde colour neutralize. I’m either envisioning something super ranch-inspired or something super glam. Up until now, I thought it was gonna be super glam but based on the rumoured song titles, her recent activity and look, I’m seeing either a fusion between the two in the vein of something Dolly Parton/Dollywood-inspired for visuals. Country glam!

I’m feeling some Johnny Cash influences based on the titles and aesthetics so far. I would say something like a folk-rock country record with some psychedelic guitars could be coming!

IKR! I couldn’t agree more!

Super excited for the potential double release of TJF and WHF!

I thought they might be poems too but they seemed so long in her voice memos for just poems so I thought they could be songs! We found about them on March 16, 2020 through her now deleted post!

POSSIBLE/LIKELY SONGS AT THIS POINT: Chemtrails Over the Country Club White Hot Forever Tulsa Jesus Freak Grenadine Quarantine If This is the End - I Want a Boyfriend Let Me Love You Like a Woman Quite an eccentric list of titles!

Omg is Tulsa Jesus Freak a song title? And is WHF just an album track or the title track again? So many questions! Do we think that selfie of her in the car is BTS of the album cover or a music vid for one of those songs?

I agree! I could see this record having a certain delivery of narrative similar to what you said. And don’t put yourself down like that lol, I agree that her lyrics are a bit ambiguous but I think that adds to her charm

I think Lana’s takes on super distinct and sometimes super straight ahead or super far-left genres are still true to her form as an artist - while I personally would love if COTCC was a country record, I know a lot of people on here wouldn’t like that but to them I would say not to worry because Lana’s version of a country record wouldn’t be pure country - it would borrow the main elements of country music in order to enhance her sound and brand, as Lana’s music can be classified as a genre of its own.

I could see the record sounding similar to ‘Andromeda’ by Weyes Blood. It sounds like an extension of California and some of Lana’s folkier tracks melody and rhythm wise but with some surfy guitar riffs, lush strings and a touch of psychedelia. Maybe a bit of country-rock swing without being tacky. It also has a classical feel and composition and I would love for Lana to explore that sound in depth!

@@California to answer your question!

I know right! It’s so amazing to think we have a completely brand new record with nothing but surprises coming in 7 weeks!

LMFAO I was NOT gonna quit like that. Period.

I’m wondering if the source code in her website that says COTCC can be pre-ordered means that the pre-order is coming first week of August. It would make sense considering NFR’s pre-order was about a month before the release. I’m thinking August 4th would be a plausible date, as it’s exactly one month before the release and is exactly one week after VBBOTG is released in audiobook format, which would give audiences enough time to digest Violet while still maintaining hype around her so the pre-order can garner more attention. And maybe a single to come along with the pre-order too!

But from where did you manage to get it onto your phone?

Where is this picture of her from?

I feel like there is going to be a strong surf-haze, dream-guitar and neo-noir feel to this record with a possible return to “Hawaiian Glam Metal” as a lot of Lana’s activity lately has been inspired by Hawaii. 1. For starters, she went to Hawaii with a large group of friends and family at the end of 2019. We know she is very responsive to place, her trip to Hawaii likely inspiring the next few points. 2. She followed a lot of accounts of families with new babies who happen to live in Hawaii, most notably @/ockeydockey; in a DM to her, Lana wrote “maybe it’s the quarantine that’s got me Hawaii dreaming”. 3. She posted a clip to Instagram from the movie “From Here to Eternity” which deals with the lives and romances of soldiers during the attack on Pearl Harbour in Hawaii. Perhaps the quality, technicalities and plot of the film will see half of the album adopt a noirish sound and theme while its location will see other songs sound surfy and summery. 4. Lana’s recent look with her blonde hair and long nails draw back to her Lizzy era when “Hawaiian Glam Metal” was her self-proclaimed signature genre. It’s safe to speculate that perhaps a surfier/noir sound on COTCC had her feeling nostalgic for the aesthetic and look she had at the time. We also see this reflected in her recent decision to don a pair of huge bamboo-golden hoops with words in the centre on her birthday, similar to ones she wore frequently in 2009. 5. In the second video of Patent Leather Do-Over Lana posted to Instagram (the one where she films herself walking down literal sea-cliff stairs), she can be heard saying in the background how the scenery almost doesn’t look like California, but rather Hawaii. The instrumentals to Patent Leather Do-Over are also quite hazy and surfy with their dreamy guitars, which may be an indication of the sound we will hear on COTCC. 6. It could be that FILY on NFR, being the last track recorded, was a jumping off point for more surfy songs, as we know Lana’s earliest versions of songs for a new record tend to be in a similar vein to the previous record, sonically.

This is the album cover of King Krule's record "The OOZ". I think she posted it just because it came out around that time and probably to show her love for it

I'm wondering if the recent spyware revelations of Tik Tok will see her delete the app if she does have it installed on her phone, especially since I'm sure she wouldn't want any information related to her career or personal life being privy to anyone outside of her circle

Me too! I would love to see her in a country club-esque setting, lounging poolside all glammed up

100% yes. I feel the Honeymoon/lush glamour vibes coming with this next record, and that paired with keeping in mind her breakup, I sense a song that will structurally and thematically resemble The Blackest Day, but with a more existential element like the one explored in Patent Leather Do-Over. I’m so excited.

I’m thinking it’ll be 1 hour and 4 mins - hopefully with a sound like Honeymoon and the Patent Leather Do-Over instrumental.

Simple pearlescent white vinyl concept. I liked the idea of Chemtrails being literal to convey sociopolitical satire but also as a metaphor for lines of coke (lol) so I thought something that looked crystallized would be cool. Thanks so much everyone! I am hoping for something like this, but Lana never fails to impress me with her album artworks so I'll be happy regardless And @@themoonstop I agree! I loved the painted cover for VBBOTG but I'd love a painted portrait of her for a cover, kind of in the style of some of Joni Mitchell's painted portrait covers.

The Nicole Nodland cover we deserve. By me! Thinking this would look really nice with an opaque white vinyl.

She looks gorgeous! As always!
