So… next week? 

seriously, I think the lead by the end of the month or early August (we’ve not seen her record in a long time, making me think it’s done), album in four-five months (November) if it’s really done.

New music out next month, thx 111 

Eclipse already told us when via subliminal messaging, until then start ordering your new weaves for the snatchery

If DragonWhore was right about cold and foggy Northern California vibes, a November/December release would be so stunning for the holiday season

This reminds me of the "If you want a little more chill a little more" caption

she's said on w magazine she's been recording stuff in her phone, so even if she's not physically going to the studio she might still be working on it + jack antonoff's been on tour for a while so if there are any tracks with him that need polish (or still to be recorded) she'll probably have to wait until he's done

True. I read that interview, about her process and the song she was describing, as « this is how I’ve been working at the moment », like she does when describing her albums: She pretty much talks about the song she is working on at the moment and never the whole album. Maybe she is not done and I’m fine with it: I’m not starving for a new album.

Either a lead or, even better, a cute / very good / excellent side project (collab, soundtrack), I’d be a happy camper. I’m still listening to BB regularly, so I’m in no rush for a new album, even if it’s the best time ever, when we’re just around a new era.

True but cold and foggy vibes would fit my holiday season quite nicely

i thought he spilled about the 3 surprise singles from BB

 

i don't remember tbh, but regardless that was over a year ago at this point 

[fierybkn 1,159]

Strangely enough I’m ok with not having anything this year bc I feel like it’s too soon to have another album but at the same time I’m dying to listen to fresh new polished stuff from her.  I loved BB but sometimes I think to myself that it would have been better if she had scrapped it. At the very least I don’t want her to neglect this era... I joined during the LFL era and the promotion was fire, everything seemed so exciting back then. She was pushed to act that way I’m sure.

I can’t at everyone blindly believing Dragonwhore 

 

So far there has not been a single thing they’ve said that’s even been remotely correct 

[Vertimus 9,557]

I was listening to 'French Restaurant' and 'Cult Leader' earlier, and it struck that both have a sort of intimate, bleeding edge and 'emotional danger'--I don't know what else to call it--that's been lacking in her last three albums, as much as I like COCC and most of BB, and to be fair, lacking from most of LFL too. 

 

It's almost as if she feels she has to 'clean things up for the public' instead of revealing the more dire, hard-to-describe emotions she explores on those two songs.

 

I'd love to see some real emotion and vulnerability on LDR9, and I do think there was a trickle of it on COCC and BB, but that was not the emotional focus of either album.

I hope that at least one of the two is on the new album. They're among my absolute favorite songs yet unreleased.

I know what you mean, it's a sense of urgency, a breaking point, and an uncertainty about which way it will go. Everything hangs in the balance. 

 

I feel emotional vulnerability in COCC and the new BB songs, but perhaps not that urgency and tension about what comes next. The new material feels more like looking back after all the drama has already played out.

 

I don't think she is pulling back from writing about challenging emotions so much as maybe she's just not living on the razor's edge these days. French Restaurant if I'm reading it right is basically a suicide note. I have no idea what her real life is like, but everything we've seen lately seems like a more relaxed, joyful not-bothered period. I doubt we will get wrenching tension in LDR9 because she's just somewhere else. But it could be a time of really expansive creativity and warmth, musically speaking.
