Drew did the horn arrangement according to the wiki, together with Lana.

I just can't see him rent Jack's studio and his audio engineers for a piano album?

It's out here and it sounds great. They even uploaded it as hi-res lossless on Apple Music, first Lana track to do so.

marking down that I think the North Star for this next album is Black Bathing Suit  I think that will be the vibe (but with more strings/piano/horns) — time signature and key changes, near-silent breaks, especially if they are orchestrating to her voice. BBS sounds to me like she wrote some of it with automatic singing and they produced it around that

They could cut out the pauses and word stumbling, slap on some reverb and call it a day. Though I wonder if her label would allow something like that to be released.

I honestly just hope they don't use phone recorded voice memos  At least Jack confirmed for his songs he made her re-record her vocals.

She did it for Violet, so don’t count it out

Ultraviolence , her best album, was recorded on generic cheap microphones. If it adds to the vibe im totally here for it. But like i said before when i hear voice memo i think of Land of 1000 Fires and if the album doesn’t give that quintessential old radio Noir  feel , then they’ll sound so lazy and bad!

At this point in a Lana record’s development (knowing songs have been sent to Drew and Lana being seen in Jack’s studio), reliable insiders would normally have spilled a crumb of info by now—especially considering Ben claims the entire album is coming soon. 
 
Lana’s team has either upped their security measures, or a surprise release is imminent. Either way, both are nice possibilities for me personally

Okay...so these are our clues: 
 
- LDR9 must have been completed. Although the insiders don't know anything about it which is a first for a Lana record...
- Erickson is mentioned by Lana as a "composer" who added orchestra to her voice memos, but not as a producer. He may be one of the producers of the album of course, but I think that the wording is interesting.
- Antonoff confirmed that he worked with Lana this spring, so he's definitely involved. 
- Angry lyrics (and vocals?) + conversational, wordy songs + orchestra + no colours + automatic singing + Carl Jung reference. 
- Ben teasing the album A LOT. 
 
What to make of Rob's involvement though? Were those March and April recording sessions with Antonoff for his album? We know that Lana was in the studio with Antonoff in April, and she barely posted on IG in March. Antonoff wasn't active on IG in February as well. Rob posted that there are a lot of songs about San Francisco (Lana's I assume?), he mentioned that it's an "epic project" - Lana's or his? lol - and he was playing "beautiful ethereal music" (similar to his wording when he described the recording of Sweet Carolina last year), and he posted a pic of Antonoff with an electric guitar + Antonoff confirmed that he and Lana were messing around with 808s. 
 
This is so confusing, lol. My guess is that Rob did work on LDR9 with Antonoff and Lana in the studio back in March and April. In late April he posted that he's taking a break from the piano, so I suppose that the album must have been completed (or at least his involvement with it) by then. And he's recording his classical album in London now.
