Poor Stacy

I wanna eat cheeseburger cake with Lana.

I wish we knew the lyric about "don't want a legacy [???]"

I feel like these 3 songs are varied enough sonically, so I hope she gives us a 14 track album that we can get completely lost in. Chemtrails was a total *mood* album like Honeymoon that benefited from being 11 tracks. Whatever this album is already seems so different, like she’s doing whatever she wants to stylistically and just purging her thoughts/emotions into 5 minutes with each song. At this point, I think she should continue going down the rabbit hole and do whatever the fuck she wants. Dealer with screaming, a little 6 minute spoken word track over ambient synths or multiple tempo changes, a 2 minute country bop… Just give us something wild and complex since you seem to be hinting at it, Queen.

Blue Banisters hits just as hard as White Dress. And that’s the tea.

Yes! It's my favorite album of the year so far along with Chemtrails. And agreed, the run from Somebody Like Me to Candy Darling is absolute perfection.

BB > TB > WW for me

We need Lana to talk about the album, though... I'm still so confused.

This song feels like a progression from White Dress + Chemtrails (title track). A deeper dive, more transparently into the present, sort of stream-of-consciousness, heartbreaking and sweet at the same time. I wonder if this will be Track 1 on the new album.

I had the impression BB = Sean/her friends, TB = Her dad, WW = Her mom. I think she lowkey took the breakup with Sean really hard?

The production near the end of Wildflower Wildfire is borderline unlistenable. I love it as a piano track, though. Maybe they'll polish it up before the album's out because it's ..... not done. Blue Banisters, though... That's my baby.

I don't think Lana's wrong for including it, and I understand why she did it, so I'm not throwing shade, but the BLM line in Text Book makes me cringe because it feels so awkwardly shoehorned in. It's a shame because I really like the song otherwise. Drag me etc, but I'm just being honest.

The title track is the one for me. That one sounds like an expansion on, or a further development from Chemtrails. The other two tracks are very personal in that it seems Text Book is about her dad and WW is about her mom, but they feel less essential *as songs* to me.

Blue Banisters is the only song I want making the album as of right now. Maybe the rest will grow. Idk. I genuinely feel bad having this reaction.

Don't even get me started on that mess... Whew.

It's so bad. Mike should have put the blunt down for a minute and listened to that mix with a clear head. If the cover's going to look like shit, the production needs to be on point.

The title track is my favorite, I think?

Going to be honest. On first listen, I don't care for the production on any of these songs - they all sound like demos, and they all seem a bit messy/unpolished. I also think she'll get dragged for Text Book's chorus w/ the BLM reference. But still grateful for new music.

Same, I think.

I can’t be the only one excited to hear the rest of Blue Banisters (song)…

The date doesn't mean anything, it's related to the storage of the files on the computer, not when the song was completed/finished.

I hope we get a surprise BBC Radio 1 premiere. 15 minutes of new, non-stop Lana. I love hearing her songs debuted to me on the radio.

The snippet’s honestly giving me what I would expect from an album inspired by Angels Forever. That big, open road sound. Ride-ish.

It’ll probably be more rock leaning than anything, but all the guys tagged on Wildflower Wildfire are like, 100% rooted in hip-hop, which kinda makes it even funnier.

Chemtrails is a fantastic album, so I'm not going to shit on it. It's the lonely, reflective road trip album I've always wanted from her. White Dress + the title track alone are two of my all time favorites of hers. And NFR! is a classic, obviously. But I feel very lucky that we have a lot of new music heading our way, and a little bit of a sonic switch-up.

@graham4anything we need you!
