enough of this acoustic sound let’s bring the lush production back

unless Rob means “ethereal” like Titanic Rising, then by all means give me a LDR Titanic Rising album

i highly doubt thats what he means

Me reading Drew Erickson slander on this thread 

 

Why do we hate him? Also where is Zachary Dawes? My bussy hasn’t recovered from his contributions to Lana’s discography

I don’t really like the work he has done with Lana so far except for Sweet Carolina tbh. I know people don’t like Jack, but I don’t see how anything he produced is worse than WCE or Beautiful. The most interesting songs on Blue Banisters like Dealer, BBS, Thunder, and Text Book were not produced by him. My top pick if she had to work with a current producer right now would be Zachary Dawes too, as he contributed to all these songs.

jack did a good job producing most tracks on nfr, but i feel his production kind of got worst on solar power and cotcc. if he makes a comeback and lana starts experimenting more i think they’d make a great duo

I hope the next album is just new songs and no unreleased.

i like to shit on jack for laughs but in all seriousness most of the stuff people blame him for is probably lana’s / lorde’s fault

 

especially when he’s proven himself with melodrama, the taylor albums, masseduction, daddy’s home, the recent florence stuff, need i go on?

i hope she pulls a cotcc and adds like 1 or 2 outstanding songs from a previous era, but not a bb

Yeah agreed. Jack has proven that he can be a great producer. Daddy’s Home was really good. One of my favorite albums last year.

'Ethereal' was a clever choice of words on Rob's part, because it is such a subjective word, and can mean almost anything (within limits). Now we know where Lana gets her broad, often inaccurate, descriptive ability when it comes to describing her own forthcoming albums. 

 

Question: did Lana say she wrote over 100 songs for LFL, or did she say she actually produced 100, or some part of a 100? I hadn't heard that. That's pretty impressive, whatever the facts were, if true.

she probably wrote 100 songs which have most likely trickled onto more recent projects (ie. california, thunder, next best american record, yosemite, etc)

 

edit: i know california & thunder are tlsp outtakes but they were probably written during the lfl sessions

Yeah, that's my sense as well, that if she wrote 100 odd new songs, some of them had to have been reworked for her next three albums. She seems to have an incredibly large pool of unreleased songs to chose from, many of which we have no idea of whatsoever.

I think that information has been given to us by honeymoon. The 100 songs probably include the songs with the TLSP, many rough demos or unfinished parts (like the rumoured Sugary Sweet from the HM sessions or Valley of the Dolls) and demos to songs that made it to the album (like the LFL demo). I doubt that there were 100 finished songs like Serene Queen.

on one hand i’m happy someone hasn’t hacked lana’s hard drive for these songs… but i also want california the lfl version

If Rob is confirmed as playing a big role on LDR9, I think jazz or blues would be my personal preference. I think that would be a natural transition from a handful of songs on Blue Banisters (think Text Book), and her voice fits the genres perfectly. 

 

Yeeeessss but I want full-on jazz, like glamorous vintage jazz 

New York bar jazz pls

Thanks, GLF. That makes sense. Still, what a reservoir of 'drafts' to pull from she must have. I wonder if the 'political songs' she's mentioned that she cut from LFL were finished, and will ever see the light of day, in some way?

I always thought that Looking for America could have been one of those, just bit changed in the light of the shootings that took place during the time she finished it. Maybe hope was some sorta of draft from the LFL sessions (she did say that it took her three years to finish it, with Jack’s help, plus it complements Heroin super well).

Imagine there's alternative plot where Lana is posting on IG picture from Zoom conference where we can see her with Mike Dean smoking weed in bathtub, Emile Haynie with peace sign, pout lips, Jack who is shirtless and Zach Dawes with guitar in hand and #LDR9 in caption

Jack's work with Lana is incredible, it's so funny to me when people complain about him. NFR, Violet, and Chemtrails are all sublime. I love Lana working with different producers, but I have no issue with him returning. I certainly hope we haven't seen the last of their work together because a lot of it is some of the best she's done.

The production on Violet is literally amazing. The retro atmosphere on some of the songs is brilliant and something I wanted from Lana for a very long time.

 

Still hoping we get those instrumentals one day, It's my favorite production since Paradise

I've come a long way with my appreciation of Jack's work with Lana, and I can't really tell whether or not it's Lana of Jack's input that doesn't work for me, but besides a few key tracks (which are some of her best work if I'm being honest; mainly Venice Bitch & White Dress) I find their work together to be very underwhelming.

I also like that Lana has and will always work with different people, but I feel like we've heard enough of the Antonoff/Del Rey collab.

Agreed! It is so mysterious and cinematic and gorgeous. I wish they had released a double vinyl that included the instrumentals, I would listen to it all the time.

That's fair we all have our opinions, but personally I find it anything but underwhelming and I highly doubt we've seen the last of their work together. At the very least, he should be back for Behind the Iron Gates because the atmosphere he added to her poetry was out of this world.
