this isn’t another element, but it would be neat if ice were a part of it (“waist-deep in icy waves” caption) I like the idea of a really cold, moody, bleak-feeling record, and I think it would fit. Also, she’s done similar like in Swan Song’s “rushing up from the water where the ice meets,” so we’ll see!!

Shoegaze and slowcore I will not explain further

This may have been mentioned, but I have a hypothesis about LDR9 1.) I think half (maybe up to 75%) of this record will essentially be the musical equivalent to Violet—wordy, lo-fi, intense, and conversational. I’m expecting these tracks to be an extension of the Blue Banisters triple singles but with a more orchestral twist 2.) I think the other portion of songs (maybe 25%-50%) will be noticeably different in both lyricism and tone. I think it’s no coincidence that Jack divulged that there was a third pool of more energetic tracks that remain unheard. Not only do I think this would balance the record well, but I think her team is likely encouraging her to possibly put out more “commercial” tracks after the quiet release of Blue Banisters. Also, she seems super happy lately, so there’s that too! Because of this, I could see us getting a record like LFL that has songs that appear to be on opposite ends of the spectrum both in production, tone, and lyricism (think Lust For Life vs Change). Do I think we’re getting LFL 2.0? No, but I think we can expect a larger but cohesive variety of tracks that can appeal to a wider audience, and that might explain why we’re seeing Jack, Drew, and potentially Rick as possible participants in LDR9. We’ll see

Are these made using a text to image AI? The photos are super neat!

Born To Die

For all we know, it very well could be! You could even argue the possibility of her next audiobook or the alleged Nikki collab record That being said, Lana’s had piano in every record since BTD: it’s just a matter of how it will be utilized. As of now, it’s tough to say, but who knows!

You’re 100% right. Personally, I think some Honeymoon-esque strings would fit it perfectly

tbh I wouldn’t mind an acapella track if it was something like this: really haunting, feels like she’s in the room with you, the storm in the background, etc. lol

I haven’t had any LDR9 dreams lately, but a few months ago I dreamt that she randomly dropped LDR9 & it was like…very moody, I guess? The album was, like..imagine God Knows I Tried mixed with Titanic Rising (the album). It was like Honeymoon’s lo-fi sister record…it’s unlikely but one can wish! lmao

what about LDR9 as a midwest emo album

I really hope there’s some unifying production element that makes LDR9 feel entirely its own even if she continues down a similar sonic path Like, NFR has the mellotron and its electronic elements, BTD has the autotuned loon and background shouting (among other things), etc. While I certainly can hear the differences between the production and instrumentation of COCC and BB, I think I would have loved to see some “extra” element added to both to fully differentiate the two since they’re both relatively sparser sound-wise. That’s just me though

me reading the Jack vs Rick discourse as someone who likes both equally & knowing that it’s one of the key signs of a new era incoming

Omg I would LOVE this. Imagine an album called… “Til Death Do Us Part” that revisits and continues the themes of Honeymoon through a completely new perspective, and there’s a lovesick-centered track called “Death Never Came”

extremely bored & making shitty edits for LDR9 because I need my mental hype train to stay

I honestly would love it! Along with Dealer, that vibe makes me imagine something like Tired Of Singing The Blues (especially the wordy, angry intro). It would be a cultural reset, I fear….

I completely agree. I think Lana might do a 180 lyrically on this record for that same reason. I mean, even as autobiographical as BB is, it’s still full of color emphasis and other similar metaphors and Lanaisms, so I think we’re in for a surprise! I’m anticipating the lyricism to be like Violet’s edgier alternative (if that makes any sense) That being said, I do get a Honeymoon-esque vibe from this record: mystery, subtlety, seaside, luxury. Then again, we know virtually knowing else about LDR9, so who knows lol

just remembered that—before this thread even existed—most of the fan concepts/manifestations for LDR9 had a release date for June… our minds

If she does intend on a surprise release with no singles or little promo, I would imagine that her team is going to push for a decent amount of “commercial” (or bombastic) tracks This possibility is really interesting given that we already know **some** songs on this album will be wordy, conversational, and angry. Maybe we’ll get an album that’s a solid mix between almost spoken-poetry-style-songs and Cinnamon-Girl-esque bops

Ben mentioning that the album is coming soon to Lana publicly is certainly fan-directed. I also feel like Lana following Rick Nowels is probably coincidental, but the old alleged screenshot confirming he’s working with Lana has me wondering if he’s worked on LDR9 or potentially a different project. I love how mysterious this era is!

don’t judge but when I’m pissed off I’ll normally go straight to my piano & play shit that’s cathartic for me (White Dress, cellophane, Dealer, etc.) what’s your favorite line(s) from a poem you enjoy?
