Jeanne Dielman

This is the stuff nightmares are made of.

Um...did you guys notice the small yellow "Newsletter" option on the French store? Had it been there before?

I'm ready to spend all my French husband's money.

Sadly I'm not expecting many tracks on the album. 11 tracks, I guess? Perhaps 12 if we're lucky. She recorded it in a relatively short period between late 2021 and mid 2022, and there are no outtakes from previous eras/sessions. BB only had 9 brand new songs (including that random interlude) and COCC had even fewer. I hope I'm proven wrong though. I'd love 15-16 tracks on it (and most of these being over 5 minutes long). Please, music gods. I'm surprised by how silent insiders are re: the album cover. I hope this isn't a bad sign.

Yeah. I doubt she'd post a YouTube link on her IG bio a day before the official announcement for a MV that will debut on Friday. We're getting an album trailer tomorrow!

LMAO poor Rob playing the piano for so many months only to be left out, while Lana and her producers have put every single instrument on the title track.

So I guess... Mike - acoustic guitar Antonoff - bass, electric guitar Erickson - piano, string arrangements Dawes - drums

So mama really said I'm gonna feed my gays. She's starting the song with piano and acoustic guitars - the ladies who like their Lana sparse and minimalistic will be fed -, then she brings the orchestra with lush string arrangements - the Honeymoon ladies will be over the moon -, and then she adds electric guitars and drums and gives us a taste of the finest tracks on NFR mixed with pure Ultraviolence realness. You couldn't make this up!

ELECTRIC GUITARS??? Zach Dawes is a great producer and his latest collaboration with Drew Erickson gave us Black Bathing Suit so... this is exciting. I hope both of them have worked on several tracks. Antonoff working with them is an interesting twist. And Erickson is great with orchestral arrangements (IYLDWM and his latest work with Father John Misty, Weyes Blood, Angel Olsen say hi!)

Mama wants all the streams to count for that inevitable #1 debut on Billboard Hot 100. Mariah Carey, Brenda Lee and SZA found dead in a ditch.

So BOZ's acronym was GPSOTSOMFWHDF...it must be a Lana track, possibly the one with the longest title on the album. Does anyone remember the acronym that his friend posted on Twitter too?

Yeah the early March release makes sense. Ellie announced her album in November for a February release, and TaP wouldn’t want both of their main artists to release in the same month, so it was going to be either January or March. Anyway, this will be the longest gap between pre-order and official release in Lana herstory! By the way, we always get the tracklist when she announces the pre-order, right?

Not gonna lie, it’s an iconic title. She’s asking a question, but also manages to ignite our imagination and curiosity. It’s like an enigmatic invitation to a new mysterious (oceanic) world.

OMG

Why would good sis Eclipse create a thread about the album announcement on ATRL if he knew that Lana's going to announce just the lead single?

Yeah, that logo is very 60s/70s. Are we getting a tropical/hippie colourful cover? LMAO and the fact that she said "no colours" in May. #iamsorandom

Yeah, this is very possible. It's quite interesting that the ATRL user who made the thread about the single used lowercase letters for the title (except for Ocean Blvd).

They didn't though? I vividly remember BOZ saying how much he disliked the album - except for a few tracks (BB, Arcadia and the new version of Thunder) - and how lazy it was to put YouTube ripoffs of leaked stuff on it. And he was also disappointed that his favourite unreleased track - Fine China - didn't make the final cut. I don't remember any insiders being particularly excited about the record.

I think he meant that it's a "follow up" in terms of "quality" given how much he disliked BB and (especially) COCC, because, yeah, the "grand and rich instrumentation" comment makes it sound more like a Honeymoon follow up actually. But sis insisted that the record doesn't resemble a previous one, and eclipse pretty much told us that we should expect a new sound, so I'm very excited. Anyway, that "striking lines" mention must mean that there is profundity/shocking material in the lyrics. Slutty Jack Donoghue must have been a great source of inspiration I suppose.

BOZ confirmed that it's not a BB outtake. There are no outtakes on the album. All songs were recorded between late 2021 and mid 2022.

Lana did mention orchestras. And Rob said he's working on an "epic" project back in March, so "rich and grand instrumentation" makes a lot of sense. I assume she finished the album sometime in September right after the Rockefeller snippet and working with that mysterious Ian guy...which means that the vinyls might be ready in January.

Me getting excited every time we get tea.. Me after the constant bickering and grumbling on these boards... Anyway, ladies. 1. NO OUTTAKES (and given that BOZ said that all songs were recorded from late 2021 to mid 2022, DYKTATUOB is NOT a BB outtake after all). 2. RICH AND GRAND INSTRUMENTATION. 3. A 6-MINUTE LEAD SINGLE WITH A LONG-ASS TITLE. 4. CONSTANT PRAISE FOR THE QUALITY OF THE ALBUM. 5. LANA HERSELF + NEIL + ANNA VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE ALBUM PHOTOSHOOT. Now, we have to figure out what's the title of the Rockefeller song. Storyteller? Late Nights? Umbrella? Fingertips?

It could be one of those songs that she recorded during the BB sessions that she "really liked". Anyway, it kinda sounds like a Zach Dawes/Drew Erickson production à la Black Bathing Suit with the drums and the slight climax near the end of the watermarked snippet.
