Pico Ocean Boulevard

Minus the hip hop flavour that's what happens with every record, she has a very specific idea in mind when she starts and usually midway she impulses a significant change to the project, which is part of the excitement and edge she brings to every album, but although why I feel LFL was a cluttered and sometimes inconsistent effort, and why we have so many demos from UV that tell a sort of different story from where she leads the story to in the 2nd part of the album

“I grew up on hip-hop”  

I think it will be surprise released or she’ll reveal the cover and tracklist right before the 5th - a lot of dates that are linked to her releases that end up not being true usually surface from third-party sites and not from her official social media accounts. 

Other than Violet’s Jan 4th date (which can’t disputed because family mementos and Chuck’s retrospective were taken  ) she has always came through with the dates she announced! Call me delusional, but I definitely think it’s coming and the release will be quick and lowkey!

On the bright side, if we do get nothing between now and the day of, that’ll be all the more exciting since everything can be taken in at once - visuals, titles, songs themselves - that makes for a fresher and purer first listen!

In an interview from October 2019 with a Seattle radio station, she said that some songs that didn’t make it to NFR had a “hip-hop girl-group” sound and were “real bombastic.”
 
Based on the beats in the TJF snippet, maybe some songs from those early NFR sessions before the direction became a singer-songwriter sound, will make it onto the album or maybe the album in general will retain that sound?
I could see the title and the album’s potential sociopolitical satire tying well into a layered, ‘60s wall-of-sound atmosphere but with more modern beats to convey Lana’s thematic manipulation of classic American culture. 

Not sure why I think this, but I'm still feeling like COCC will be an extension of NRF, sonically speaking. Maybe a little more Americana leaning wouldn't bother me tbh, but I'm not expecting a huge step away from the sound Jack & Lana cultivated on NFR. I mean, nothing like the difference between BTD & Ultraviolence. Given her Insta rant about the Culture and being able to go back to her earlier, grittier lyrics gives me hope for controversial Lana to be making her voice heard again. I love it when Lana is in your face, lyrically, and just totally outspoken and frank.

Let's hope there's more than one super slutty song on COCC
 

Nah, The pre NFR era was miserable. The first songs we got were already a year old by the time the album was released. She teased us so much it gave her fans blue balls. Plus then we also had the mindset of, damn we’ve heard what most of the album is going to sound like and etc. I rather know nothing, than to know so much to when the album is released there’s almost barely anything new. I mean, we had people already disappointed and dissatisfied with the album months before it actually came out. They already wanted her to move onto the next album lol. This era has been way easier. It would have been better had she not mentioned it a few days after she put out NFR. I guess. No one would be feeling impatient or anything like that.

placing all of my delusional bets on tomorrow for news 

BAR wasn’t touched by Jack, but he contributed to the production of California, with Zack Dawes. 

Baby if you wanna leave, come to tulsa jesus be a freak, like me too?

Say yes to heaven
Say yes to me
Let’s go to Tulsa
To be Jesus Freaks 

basically what happend when the cockpit lyrics weren't included in Love Song

These tho... *chief's kiss*
You should stay that close to Jesus
Keep my bottle, I can’t stay for long
Midwest shelter from the madness
Hum your little bible song
Paint you like a blank canvas
Golden fields with a sky of blue
Like it is in Oklahoma
‘Cause California’s not for you

Wait what lyrics? Im slow

the fake lyricists rlly stepped it up this era whew 

This will be a literal nightmare, we dont want old songs, especially not queen of disaster cus it sucks

"Saturday Night Sadness" track confirmed. 

okay what is this

Maybe it’s just me, but I like to think that she’s grown more socially aware to the point where she also cares about the environment. It’s a matter that affects all and the livelihood of all beings, so I think it just is. However, I think said themes could slip into musical work as they did with NFR! ❤️ 

The Venice Bitch praise. It’s what she deserves. 
I’d love for something as mesmerizing on COCC. 

I literally measure time in Venice Bitch. "How long did it take for you to get here?" 
"Oh only 3 and a half Venice Bitches." Honestly its a forever track to me, so if she goes for any sort of sequel I hope its within Venice's range. It was 2nd best on NFR and I hope after all the critical success there she just lets it rip and forms songs on Chem however she sees fit. Imagine a 10 song album but each song averages 7 minutes? Do we hate that? A Lana jam fest album? I do not haha

I really want a Venice Bitch or California 2.0, it's really all I want omg

So glad she used “Jack I love those chords” as an interlude. We stan a musical power couple. 

The police siren that blares at the end of TJF sent me, though some might find it off putting 

Ok but this.... is a CONCEPT 

I opened this thread and had a fucking heart attack I hate you all
