POETRY ALBUM IN 7 DAYS!!

I CAN'T WAIT. 

 

I also can't wait to hear what creations will be made out of it. How good is this version of Florence reading William Blake's poetry over an original score. OOF. THE ART THAT WILL BE MADE.

Its a lot to ask for Lana to put this much effort into something so im not building up my expecatations but this would be amazing   She's lucky she has a nice speaking voice though so even if she doesnt use any instrumentals, i'll be happy anyway

If she does overlay it, that's cool I'm sure we'll love it. But if she doesn't, we can make some super fuckin cool stuff from it. A true DIY project!

I wonder why it hasn't leaked yet, i wonder what the cover will be like, or how many poems there will be... i have so many questions

 

my guess is between 12 and 15 poem readings?? she obviously has more in the book but maybe she picked only her faves for this project

With the sound analysis - loved it! 

 

Few points to add:  

 

• Lana and her producers have always been a fan of the Mellotron (and so am I) but Jack in particular seems to love the Mellotron french horns - aka the intro of Love Song, HTD, used prolifically in Venice, California etc, that is what THAT sound is (personally I love it and how warm and tacky it sounds) 
• Love the synth glissando and the brass in the title track and how the opening strings are exactly the same as what plays in the chorus 
• Increased bass and synths in the outro of FIILY are incredible
• Love subtle changes in vocal processing ie. reverb, delay, doubling on Love Song and the harmonies in MAC
• Mixing is too loud on HTD and don't like dynamic changes but can see they were intentional
• California is pretty flat and the vocals could have been better, could have been more rocky, less repetitive etc
• The Greatest is one of my fave songs ever even though it's a bit anticlimatic - also don't really hear the strings, flute and horns that are credited, interesting vocal crack/flutter on greaaaaaaaaatest. Love the use of octave vocal doubling in this track and how the last chorus has more guitar
• The "dance" in HIAB after the chorus is out of time with the main vocal line and the guitar swells are nice if not a bit overbearing at times 

Overall love this album sonically but it could have been cleaner and would have liked more bridges

I think it might be around 15 poems + haikus. We know she has written some and they don’t take long to read so it would be nice to have them too

Can we all agree that Venice Bitch is the best sonically song and MAC the best lyrically song on the album?

I should have foreseen what this album was gonna be like when Lana said "Oh woah-w-woah-woah-whatever" in Venice Bitch
