Hmm maybe she realized the persona she created is the source of the burden she's been carrying. It would make sense for this album to be a severe deconstruction of Lana the persona, as Elizabeth the person takes her place. A fully realized human being.

@lustforlife would you say BBS is the Cherry/TJF/Cinnamon Girl of the album? I promise this is my last damn question!

OMG.

We know so very little about the middle section... The fact that even insiders are refusing to be too explicit about what they share on that part of album is very telling. We might be in for a treat

I'm claiming Black Bathing Slay from now on

Sorry to be bothering you with questions yet again @lustforlife... I'm sure you're getting a lot of these and I apologize in advance to add even more pressure to the mix. But I just can't stop thinking about Black Bathing Suit. What can you tell us about it? I'll settle for anything you might wanna share! And btw thank you so much for the info you've been spilling. Something about the way you word it makes it feel more intimate and tender.

For me I think Wildflower Wildfire is one of her best ever and on par with the ones you mentioned.

Isn't it amazing when someone puts actual effort into an era? It makes a lot of difference. It's clear that she's not willing to play the industry game by any means anymore and it's admirable she's sticking to that attitude (as opposed to someone like Lorde who sings about hating California and wanting to be in the wilderness and yet she's in every talk show, doing magazine covers, doing a week-run of performances for James fucking Corden, etc - maybe to compensate the lack of quality of her latest output?). However, she changed the profile pictures of every social media account, put out a music video with an actual concept, did an amazing photoshoot with Neil to complement the album aesthetically speakinh and further expand the universe of Blue Banisters... like, this is the Lana we fell in love with: someone who's passionate about her work and shares it with the world with confidence and attention to detail. Makes me wonder what went wrong with Chemtrails for her. It's clear she wanted to release it earlier but maybe the delays due to the pandemic made her lose sight of her vision halfway through... hence the lack of promotion and the apparent lack of interest as well.

Also, I’d love for BoZ to address what’s up with Black Bathing Suit.

I’m too attached to the Thunder we know. It’s gonna take a long while for me to adapt.

Arcadia is my least favorite song out of the three singles + Dealer + Thunder but to call it not particularly interesting production wise is… strange to say the least. The last time we were offered this richness in orchestration was back in Lust For Life.

Who said that? I think the only thing we know about Thunder is that this version probably has a piano intro.

He's credited as a writer.

Omg I wanna listen to that as well!

To think we started this era completely in the dark, with the picsart selfies as the only aesthetic reference for an album which direction we had no idea of... To this moment, with a clear and exciting vision mirrored not only by the several album covers to the already released songs... I love Chemtrails but this era puts that one to shame.

It was co-written by Zach Dawes so he probably co-produced it as well and judging by the looks of everything he's touched (California, Thunder, Dealer, etc) I think it's gonna be a rock infused moment.

No one but Tailor Thrift and Borde will attempt!

Remember when @lustforlife said Black Bathing Suit is (and I quote) "an invite"?

So rich in instrumentals, goddamn. Jerkonoff can't relate.

This pretty much confirms Black Bathing Suit is going to be an alt rock bop. Omg.

My best friend is a moderate fan of Lana (not hardcore like I am - but her favorite Lana album is Honeymoon!) and even she said Lana's in a completely different level than anyone working in the music industry right now. Watch the girlies adopt the rock-ish sonority in a couple years.

I confess I'm a little worried on whether the Interlude fits the general mood of the album. Having that fire ass trap beat in the midst of emotional ballads and soft rock songs might throw some people off. I need to know how Black Bathing Suit sounds like... like what even can follow that?

I can't believe she did a trap interlude right after that. WHAT THE FUCK.

TRAP?! A TRAP INTERLUDE?!
