Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd - Pre-Release Thread: OUT March 24th, 2023

I personally think DragonWhore is being truthful, they've been right about multiple things and have been consistent in how they described the album since the beginning. Fake insiders want way more attention than they do.

 

Almost 80 minutes is so exciting

There is more low register than COCC and BB for sure. 

Would you say BTD type drawn out vocals?or spoken style

I think all the “features” on this album are going to be more like background contributions. If FJM is just backing vocals, SYML is just a piano sample, and part of Judah Smith’s sermon appears at the end of a song, then I’m guessing (1) Jack does backing vocals on one of the songs he produced (like Seth Kauffman’s vocals on Brooklyn Baby); (2) Jon Batiste’s contribution is co-writing + backing vocals (or maybe a verse, but it seems unlikely given FJM’s minimal airtime); and (3) Tommy Genesis contributes something small, as BoZ referred to it as a “collab” with quotation marks, suggesting it’s not exactly a traditional feature (maybe a sample).

 

I think you're right! 

 

Here's what Lana said about the "features" on her album:

 

Quote

 

“(…) For helping me meet Jon Batiste after we missed each other four times, because I rarely have new friends sit at my old piano. (…) Tommy Genesis for being full of fire and a huge inspiration to me allll the time. Riopy and AK and SYML for lending me your subtle piano compositions that are infused with melodies I only wish I could dream up. You’ve contributed so much thank you so much for your generosity. Judah and Chelsea Smith for giving me good guidance even when they don’t know they’re giving guidance and for letting me record a part of his sermon for this record. Father John Misty for singing with me and letting me continue to revel in his literal comic genius.” 

 

Jon Batiste - only writing credits by the sound of it. 

Tommy Genesis - a sample at best I guess?

Riopy & Konstanty - not even mentioned as features on the cover, so their contribution must be minimal.

SYML - a sample (confirmed).

Judah Smith - the recording of a part of his sermon.

Bleachers - no mention at all, but she does thank Jack for his production and writing skills in the next paragraph.

Father John Misty - the only one who seems to have actually sung with her, and now it's confirmed that he's been Snowonthebeach'd.

I can't do math but from what DW says, we know a few songs are around 5 minutes long and the rest are all very different, so there could be songs ranging from 2/3 minutes to 7/8 minutes. Watch Sweet be 8 minutes long

Not a bother, especially since you don't throw hate my way like others here. 

 

I do not think this album is anything like LFL. Not sure where that thought comes from to be honest. Like I've said before (even before the title track was released), expect lots of strings to the ode of Honeymoon, and nautical Northern California vibes. Lust for Life is not like that. It's Honeymoon meets Ultraviolence in lyricism and sound. 

do you think there are any easily digestible songs for the GP? with drum percussion or something

[Venice Peach 54,293]

The way she's basically remixing those piano tracks... her soundcloud era

That for some reason makes me think of the Cult Leader jacket Lana wore a couple of months ago.

Jim who?

Jim is short for Jimmy John, the song is about her sandwich order🥺 Some of the lyrics are “Turkey, mayo, bread, and cheese, wash it all down with this cola pussy” 🌹

Do you know if another single is planned? The title track seems more like an intro to the era than a proper lead to me for some reason

[CinnamonGay 10,527]

@DragonWhore also are there any bops like Doin Time or FIILY or Lfl title track

I love it! But it's #7 on the album for me. There's so many amazing songs on this album it's hard to put into words. Why is why I've said multiple times that u'll all pass out.

[Lanaparadiserey 23,551]

@DragonWhore Do we get another single? Also are there music videos for this era/how many? Also thx you for sharing, you’ve been spoiling us🙏

[CinnamonGay 10,527]

@DragonWhoreplease reply 

@DragonWhore would you say there are more surprises wrt to the rollout itself? Like more vinyl variants or album trailers

Could you give us a clue about Track 3 (Sweet)? Is it Beautiful redux?

[Sportscruiser 11,894]

I don’t wanna push it @DragonWhore but I have one more question: is American Whore as crazy as Jack Antonoff and BOZ hinted? Is it that unprecedented for Lana?

 

Thank you for answering my last question, I swear this is the last one.

Do u remember a certain ''Rock Candy Sweet''? Nothing like ''Beautiful.'' Nothing on DYKTTATUOB is.

I don't think it's ''unprecedented'' for her, but more of a welcome return to previous songs. Crazy, yes-  but stunning.
