Blue Banisters - Pre-Release Thread: OUT October 22nd, 2021

[Eat The Ducky Moss 296]

Arcadia is a beauty. Every single listen, I’m more amazed with the track - although I do wish the horns and strings were more prominent. 

I definitely love the studio version as the horns sound like a mariachi band - reminds me of LA since the Latine and Hispanic community is prominent there. Definitely giving my LA culture vibes. And it perfectly dives into the old western Hollywood film vibes of The Trio interlude. 

 

Cool idea - I would love for Lana to get into Latin music since she speaks/studied Spanish. Maybe a collab with my favorite Bachata and Reggaeton artists?!

when you're not from the US these things aren't really that easy to know about 

that's my excuse, at least I googled it on the same day to find out 

Me (from Aus) with nearly every reference in Lana's songs

she's been saying this all along... it's all connected...

For some reason, I have a feeling that Beautiful is gonna be really underrated. I don't know why (maybe it's because of the simple title) but it's giving off the same energy as Bartender and GBA in terms of treatment/recognition

Thanks for this. Anything about Black Bathing Suit? I’m so curious if people have heard anything….

 

I don't know anything about this song yet, i can only imagine that it's going to be the sultry bop we deserve

I have no idea how and why this would happen but I'm manifesting 

[Fingertips 72,093]

I think there will be three acts for some reason, organized by sound or lyrical content. I think the second act is where most of the hard hitting, edgier songs will be 

Act One:

Text Book 

Blue Banisters

Arcadia

The Trio

Black Bathing Suit

 

Act Two, more of a rock edge: 

If You Lie Down With Me

Beautiful

Violets for Roses

Dealer

Thunder

 

Act Three: 

Wildflower Wildfire

Nectar of the Gods

Living Legend

Cherry Blossom

Sweet Carolina

[Cherry Blossom 20,013]

my insider era is here… i talk to jesus ft jared leto is a blue banisters target bonus track… 

[Surf Noir 188,277]

i know we were all sick of her having the exact same setlist for all of her shows, but it's been so long since she's had a concert that it'll be nice seeing her sing all of her old born to die songs again

I would add Black Bathing Suit to the act two but this is a really good “theory”

MANIFESTING

[Cherry Blossom 20,013]

the trio is actually such a good interlude. it feels kinda like a vhs rewind, and something else that i cant quite put my finger on. but it’s very good at setting the scene and is so bad ass  i cant wait to see how the rest of the album plays out

[honey dew 10,304]

if living legend hasn't had a lyrical adjustment at the very least..............
