Blue Banisters - Pre-Pre-Release Thread

@Elle girl, hi!! I think this thread can be called “Pre-Release” and not “Pre-Pre-Release” or am I wrong?

It’s hard to say! Usually we don’t go into Pre-Release so quickly since it’s typically awhile until she announces a title and date and we just have a Pre-Pre-Release in the meantime, but it is this a different scenario this time around. I may adjust this thread to just be a pre-release in a bit x

When did Chemtrails enter the pre-release phase, do you remember? 
 

I feel like June 1st is still super up in the air and we shouldn’t enter a new pre-release phase until we have more confirmation (a single, preorder, or word from Ben/Ed) about the album..going off Chemtrails, we had at least 4 release date title changes until it became ‘official’ (there was sep 5th, the period where we had no idea, Dec 10/Jan 7th, tentatively spring/summer, and then finally the official March 19th date)

but that’s just my opinion! 
 

 

edit: also any idea when the chemtrail theme Will be uploaded?

I love Chemtrails. That said, there's no way she can go any softer or minimalistic than she does on that album. It's very soft, gentle, wispy. For Rock Candy Sweet, I want her to try some faster songs, with a rock/electric guitar-heavy approach. I just feel like she still has a harder-edged, alternative rock album in her that's waiting to be unleashed. Idk. But I'm pretty much down for anything - as long as it isn't a pop album or a piano ballad album.

She can always go full acoustic 

but let’s not give her ideas

LDR7 Pre-Pre-Release opened on August 19th, 2019 when the Times article was released of her talking about the album (at that point called White Hot Forever) & the COTCC Pre-Release opened May 25th, 2020 after she made her Instagram post announcing the title.

The Chemtrails theme will be up before the weekend! It’s essentially done, I was just waiting on one tweak from someone helping me design it which I just received a couple of hours ago, so now all I need to do is code it in for you all! Xx

So by that logic Pre-release-ing this thread makes sense since we have both the name and release date like we did for Chemtrails  usually her announcement of a follow-up (MTWBT after UV,  NFR after LFL) don’t come with a release date

 

and okay awesome, thank you so much! I remember you mentioning the Chemtrail theme and I’m super excited for it!

[gatadelrey 4,617]

I hope this album is at least a little longer than chemtrails.

I can’t believe her folk era ended before it even started we really won

maybe it's meant to be a second part to chemtrails or at least it'll make sense why they're separate when we hear it but it would be a good project to listen to together? i'm hoping it's very much the opposite from chemtrails just for that reason. like for me chemtrails picked up where NFR left off it feels like and hopefully this'll feel totally different

Also the fact that she did vocals for his song 

[NikoGo 60,709]

I think COTCC’s length REALLY helped keep it together and cohesive, and while I love long albums (like LFL) I think the smaller a track list is the more cohesive it can be.

 

Paradise (despite being an EP), UV (standard), and Chemtrails feels the most like a solid body of work (HM is also cohesive but I would argue maybe not as much as the others.)

 

so while it would be nice to get a 14+ song album, I wouldn’t want anything that would water down or overfill the overall vision.

I want an album that show us what happens after she ran with the wolves or after she turns into a wolf with the concept of revenge 

 

cocc title track's ending would be a good start looking for revenge 

plot twist the ending scene/vocals of the cocc mv were a teaser to rock candy sweet the whole time..

[IanadeIrey 61,989]

Since we know this album has been in the works since at least ~late spring/summer 2020, I feel like we can kind of speculate the sound based on what Lana was doing.

 

I remember her listening to a lot of the artists she brought as guests on the NFR tour, and that obviously informed the Midwestern feel of Chemtrails. Of course, the Joni references on the album came from her covering For Free on tour and her just being a fan in general. 
 

Knowing that Dealer is a “screamer”, I remember in August 2020 she posted to her IG stories a video of her listening to “Dazed and Confused” by Led Zeppelin in her car. That video was actually taken in early July of 2020 (based on her lash extensions/nails/hairstyle) so I wonder if that was when she started actively working on this record, as we know she had finished Chemtrails that summer anyways.  
 

I think we may be getting an album with lots of electric guitar and classic country-rock elements. When I first heard Lana’s description of Dealer I actually thought of that video she posted of her listening to Dazed and Confused by Led Zeppelin! I would love a guitar-driven album with lots of cool riffs and looser, twangier vocals. 
 

Maybe the “louder” songs resembling Dazed and Confused and the “softer” songs being like Stairway to Heaven, Tangerine, or Going to California by Led Zeppelin? All with a really sultry, bluesy output in the vein of Bobbie Gentry - who Lana mentioned as an inspiration to Music Week this month.

 

excited!
