Jeanne Dielman

Blue Banisters will either be the opener or the closer. The abrupt opening ("There's a picture on the wall...") indicates immediacy: no fancy intros, we're getting to the point of her story. And the rest of the songs take us on this journey: from the past (lovers, family) that keeps haunting her to the present (friends, family again) where she's trying to reconcile with everything that has happened to her throughout all these years. But at the same time...the outro gives "closer" vibes, so yeah I'm confused. Although the dreaminess of the outro could lead to a more intricate intro for track 2. Arcadia has this very dark and unsettling piano in the beginning of the small snippet, so if it's track 2 I could totally envision the transition between the two of them. Although it'll be fun if Arcadia is track 4 just like Video Games!
Wildflower Wildfire is another interesting one. "Here's the deal..." screams opener but opening the album with these lyrics might be too obvious. Or...it could be the closer because there's something optimistic despite all the tragedy. "It's you from whom I learn".

Hello everyone. I've been lurking on these boards for far too long but I finally decided to sign up after the recent news about the release of Arcadia! 
 
I haven't been this excited for a Lana record in a long time actually. There's something deeply moving and profound about the lyrics of the three singles she released in May. This could be her most sophisticated and contemplative work to date. But I also admire the subtle development of her sound as well. This is very nuanced work and at first one might assume that this is the continuation of the NFR/COCC sound - although I think that NFR is quite different to COCC anyway - but I don't think this is the case at all: Blue Banisters with its dreamy ambient soundscape and its otherworldly outro; Wildflower Wildfire with its distorted and intentionally artificial drum sounds; Text Book with its subtle gospel and jazz influences. 
 
I've been trying to keep up with all the information we've received. A 15-track album will be absolutely wonderful. I remember the insider mentioning that she chose some unfinished/rough demos over some of his favourite unreleased tracks which were originally chosen (Fine China for example), so I think that 2 of the 5 outtakes must be completely new to us (I suppose one of them will be Dealer after all). So I think that Dealer, the Barrie song - I'm not entirely sure this is an Ultraviolence outtake because the insider implied that Barrie and Lana had a session earlier this year; they might have reworked something they wrote together years ago, but it could be something new; this sort of makes sense with the narrative of Lana making peace and revisiting her past with this record - and potentially a third outtake could be completely new to us. For some bizarre reason I feel that the third "known" song, besides Cherry Blossom and Thunder, will be Color Blue/Wild on You/Nectar of the Gods. 
 
I'm excited about the other album that will be released after Blue Banisters (or simultaneously! lol, you never know with Lana). Given the fact that she's been reworking several unreleased tracks and almost included several of them on Blue Banisters, I guess she might have decided to include those that fit the narrative of Blue Banisters better and has put the rest of them on the album with the unreleased tracks collection. Or it could be AKA after all. But I wouldn't be shocked if Lana has already started working on her ninth album (with Mike Dean) and she releases that one next Spring/early summer. It could be anything at this point. She's incredibly prolific. 
 
Anyway, these are my two cents. I'm very excited for this era. The Arcadia snippet is heavenly and the music video seems to blend sexiness with melancholia in a very unique way that immediately brought to my mind her early work and DIY MVs (which are trademark Lana basically). Perhaps it all comes full circle.

So BB has 15 tracks... you know what other album has 15 tracks too? Yes, BTD (Deluxe Version). And she wanted us to listen to Arcadia like we did to Video Games . It's all coming together:
 
Track 1 is Blue Banisters
Track 2 is OTTR big sister 
Track 4 is Arcadia (like @BlueGreenGray said)

Weirdly this is the first time she's going to lead an album without a high budget MV supporting it. Maybe we'll get the title track real MV next month with the release of the full thing but who knows. 
The homemade visuals match the delicate and more intimate sound/lyrics tho

BB is actually a timeless god tier classic

It could be anything at this point. She's incredibly prolific. 
 
Anyway, these are my two cents. I'm very excited for this era. The Arcadia snippet is heavenly and the music video seems to blend sexiness with melancholia in a very unique way that immediately brought to my mind her early work and DIY MVs (which are trademark Lana basically). Perhaps it all comes full circle. 
 
 

Hello everyone. I've been lurking on these boards for far too long but I finally decided to sign up after the recent news about the release of Arcadia! 
 
I haven't been this excited for a Lana record in a long time actually. There's something deeply moving and profound about the lyrics of the three singles she released in May. This could be her most sophisticated and contemplative work to date. But I also admire the subtle development of her sound as well. This is very nuanced work and at first one might assume that this is the continuation of the NFR/COCC sound - although I think that NFR is quite different to COCC anyway - but I don't think this is the case at all: Blue Banisters with its dreamy ambient soundscape and its otherworldly outro; Wildflower Wildfire with its distorted and intentionally artificial drum sounds; Text Book with its subtle gospel and jazz influences. 
 
I've been trying to keep up with all the information we've received. A 15-track album will be absolutely wonderful. I remember the insider mentioning that she chose some unfinished/rough demos over some of his favourite unreleased tracks which were originally chosen (Fine China for example), so I think that 2 of the 5 outtakes must be completely new to us (I suppose one of them will be Dealer after all). So I think that Dealer, the Barrie song - I'm not entirely sure this is an Ultraviolence outtake because the insider implied that Barrie and Lana had a session earlier this year; they might have reworked something they wrote together years ago, but it could be something new; this sort of makes sense with the narrative of Lana making peace and revisiting her past with this record - and potentially a third outtake could be completely new to us. For some bizarre reason I feel that the third "known" song, besides Cherry Blossom and Thunder, will be Color Blue/Wild on You/Nectar of the Gods. 
 
I'm excited about the other album that will be released after Blue Banisters (or simultaneously! lol, you never know with Lana). Given the fact that she's been reworking several unreleased tracks and almost included several of them on Blue Banisters, I guess she might have decided to include those that fit the narrative of Blue Banisters better and has put the rest of them on the album with the unreleased tracks collection. Or it could be AKA after all. But I wouldn't be shocked if Lana has already started working on her ninth album (with Mike Dean) and she releases that one next Spring/early summer. It could be anything at this point. She's incredibly prolific.
