I misremembered the date. Lana indeed said September in this interview: http://lanaboards.com/topic/16671-lana-covers-interview-magazine-march-2023-issue-interview/ September 2022 was the very last song I wrote. It’s a song called “Margaret,” about Jack Antonoff’s fiance [Margaret Qualley].

Yes, Lana has also explicitly mentioned Harry Nilsson in her Blue Banisters release stream so I assume the Ocean Blvd demo was recorded before that.

The only other confirmed date is Margaret - October September 2022. Candy Necklace is likely from August 2022 based on when Lana shared the snippet from the studio. Fingertips and Ocean Blvd were the first two tracks, so around September 2021 if I had to guess.

That's also how I interpreted it. Kintsugi was recorded in April 2022, they were together during that time.

Explained by AI since it's better than I am at analyzing songs

That's what I hear, that would also add up with the "but i have good intentions", implying she has made mistakes.

They are unmastered based on their lengths but I don't know if the final version will sound noticeable different. We will see on Friday.

I think I figured the lyrics out

I don't know how it can be both a pop-up exclusive and sold online

Sold on LDRVillage, seems to be a pop-up exclusive? The second one is the one Lana showed on TikTok. https://ldrvillage.com/#/category/62

I don't know at what point of the album process the songs were stolen, but I don't expect any major differences. Maybe the studio chatter at the end will be cut from some songs and the final files will sound slightly better.

Compare the duration of the leaked files with the ones on streaming / CD.

Let's just hope they didn't do basement listening parties in the US too

It seems I looked at the song more from the lyric perspective, that's why I didn't make the connection.
