Kintsugi said the song is massive and I promise you there's more going on in the snippet than piano, I promise there are guitars if you listen closely (and this has been confirmed by the production credits) 

I really can't hear the guitars but have full faith in your superior hearing. Interestingly, the second photo accompanying that post is of a guitar.

Jack sounds like Matt from The National on Margaret. I personally love it

is the reason everyone is excited about candy necklace just because we haven't heard it yet? because based on what we actually have heard (the instagram snippet), it's just a piano ballad. which im cool with - but usually the piano ballads aren't the projected favourites. but maybe more has been said about it that im not aware of?

 

Nooo it has bass, piano, guitar, cello, violin, keyboards and celesta

I think there's going to be a lyrical narrative to this record, so I imagine A&W sounding very strange right after Margaret

That is honestly what I was thinking. A&W is much more impactful surrounded by slower more meaningful songs. Tbh let’s just take Margaret off the record😻

I actually think that the tiny snippet is otherworldly and eerie; it definitely doesn't sound like a "typical"/"predictable" Lana piano ballad to me. Besides, Kintsugi called it "massive" and the production credits are very promising: the song features acoustic and electric (!!!) guitars, violins, cellos, contrabass and celesta (!). Furthermore, the song is sandwiched between two very unusual and creepy/unsettling interludes - it seems that the record moves from a grand/orchestral sound (first three tracks) to a more creepy/dark one (A&W - Kintsugi), and I doubt that Candy Necklace would be the outlier here (I certainly didn't expect the Jon Batiste interlude to be described as wild and disturbing, lol!). I hope it delivers!

I'm bored. 

[sadness is a butterfly 5,795]

Pretty sure A&W hit the Chinese site around 9pm eastern when it came out at 11am the next day. Still not on there.

 

I’ve heard it 20+ times already but I’ll still be disappointed if so can’t stream The Grants on Spotify tomorrow

[Taco Truck x VB 3,595]

you know what i’m REALLY interested in?

what the og tracklist was, order name and titles

and how the songs would sound rearranged

i know TUOB isn’t the most sonically cohesive but at the same time, i think the way it’s arranged it’s definitely grouping the sounds together in a way?

i wonder how it would beeeee

we shall seeeee
