QueenOfHearts

Thank you for articulating exactly what I want from this album 

Do u remember when I told you it would be cold Northern California foggy vibes? 

will we ever get dark hip hop orchestral jazzy electric guitar songs ever again ?

I really don't know what to expect from Lana in terms of promo/aesthetics/MVs etc this time cause she's too unpredictable. 
Chemtrails was one of her most lowkey album cycles yet it gave us one of her higher budget MVs since the BTD/Paradise era 
I hope we get at least a promo picture soon (maybe with that beautiful blue dress )

I'm thinking this will be a country inspired album but it's going to be a jaw-dropper with jazzy and spooky undertones. I'm picturing late night country with hints of Honeymoon, Chemtrails, and Violet, and an unnerving uniqueness with some abstract storytelling, country music that the world has never seen before. 

it’s not not a glitch 

Not you talking to Jesus and even He doesn’t have the LDR9 tea 
 
Neil come through we need youuuuu 

everything we officially know is listed in the first post of the thread! all other info floating around rn is pretty much just random speculation 
 
 

i'm new & there's no way i'm reading thru over 300 pages so could someone please catch me up on everything we know about the new album please & thank u 

WAVES  

we're gonna DIE from the amount of slayage she's about to serve us fr  

Wave in the emoji... wave in the DNC logo... (icy) waves in her captions... wave in the Neil picture... 

And the wave emoji?? As in the DNC icon? Omg...

VIBES fully support it 

i haven't had to read this many thread pages in a while  idc if neil didnt even like the comment at all and it's a glitch i'm fully choosing to believe he read + deliberately liked that comment  the aesthetic!! giving vengeful mermaid watching the world burn to the tune of psychedelic rock <3 

i just went and looked and its not telling me that that comment has any likes whatsoever… i wonder if he liked and unliked

You make it sound as if she's going Full Fiona on us!

Had a dream last night, that one of you hacked her website and revealed the album cover and merch. Cover kind of looked like a Ultraviolence still..black and white.  The album name was really long as fuck something like ‘The Sacred Native American’s and the Founding Father's that Betrayed them’.  

Ok, now this has me more hyped for the cover. 

I dreamed last night that Ben spilled about the album, saying LDR9 was Lana’s attempt at folk music, and I was like « what was Chemtrails then?!? »  not that I hate Chemtrails, but I want something a tad bigger 

I don’t think there’s a definite rule for mixing, but depending of her recording schedule, she could Mix them after they were recorded and at the end, final mixing of all the songs so the volume is cohesive 🤷🏼 I don’t think that all the songs are mastered at the end of the process : we often got the lead.s of her albums way before she was done recording.
some son take longer than others to mix: Change was done overnight (true, it’s a piano ballad for the most parts, but still)

It appeared when I went to the recent Neil Krug Instagram post too. Here's a screeshot: (His finger may have slipped but Instagram did not clear the action/cache of him pressing "like" on a comment) (+ Censored the users because it felt a lil weird archiving that, lol)
 

WAIT A SECOND. In the Neil post someone asked if it was for Lana and there's a little icon saying Neil liked the comment but I can't actually see the likes. Can someone confirm is not just a glitch? 

I hope "near completion" means that it's getting mixed and mastered (or to be delulu, vinyl being pressed) as we speak cause if she's still recording it's further than we think. 
 
By the way do albums usually get mastered and mixed only when they are finished? Cause she usually records over a long period of time so maybe they do that in batches every time they finish some songs.
I guess they will still need to do the finishing audio engineering touches when they have the whole thing so it sounds "cohesive" at least in volume and all that... but I'm clueless about how that stuff works 

This summer has been crazy for Lana: she was the 7th biggest streamed female artist this week, despite no new song or real social media presence. Lana is synonymous with summer and it would be a good move, to have a September release to keep the Lana hype alive when summer ends.
