Lasso - Pre-Pre-Release Thread

[Venice Peach 54,289]

If the Fenway song is on Lasso... who produced it? Like I can't see Jack, Luke or Drew doing that  It doesn't even sound like Zach so it has to be one of her old producers but unless it's an old song (like HIAB, Yosemite) is weird that she went back to Rick for one track only since they used to write whole albums together.

 

Unless there's multiple Rick songs 

 

It sounds like Tim Larcombe but I really doubt he's back... even though it would be a dream come true

Tim Larcombe supremacy, I indeed need him back for Lasso tbh. His production sounds always so lush

I was listening to the show's soundtrack on vinyl last night and I was thinking how interesting it would be for her to make a Julee Cruise style album- she has the voice for it too. It would be soooo dreamy, I can't even imagine.  How To Disappear always reminds me of TP- if only she had more songs like that

I looked into what Southern Gothic means and it's a new term but I think the gist of it is that it's a mix of genres, like early jazz, americana, country, old folk, bluegrass. I guess that's the sound I think of when I envision Southern Gothic. Ideally for me she references older styles, like old, darker folk songs. It would go so well with the mysterious aura she has always had, and it would fit a darker sound too. A mix of New Orleans jazz, Robert Johnson's delta blues with that beautiful acoustic guitar, the darker tone of the House of The Rising Sun by The Animals, and Johnny Cash's American albums, but everything with that distinct Lana twist that makes her so unique.

“Queen of Disaster Southern Gothic country pop swamp edition” we all say in unison!

[Make me your Dream Life 87,447]

why does it already feel like the end of the year when it's just september 3rd 

[AngelHeadedHipster 2,796]

Lana needs to cover this song on Lasso This song is so Lana coded

 

[Make me your Dream Life 87,447]

since nothing's really going on, whenever someone says southern gothic I just think of sarah paulson

One redditor was manifesting that for Lasso!

[whitelungswhitepalms 10,052]

At least we have a couple of quavo singles to hold us off until the album.

 

Whatever she’s cooking up to say that it’s American gothic is going to be legendary.

 

it reminds me of future jazz

 

like she used that term perfectly for me

 

anyways, I’m waiting impatiently 

[Fuck Our Generation 753]

According to jinn within, are we going to have our first single in a few days?

A lot of folk songs that came here from the British Isles and then blossomed in Appalachia are about rape, murder, ghosts, fairies, tribal war and slaughter, treachery, betrayal, etc., and have musically shifted into 'Americana' and early country music since the 17th century. The House of the Rising Sun is an excellent example of that and the Animals did it justice. It sounds as if you would know that Robert Johnson claimed to have sold his soul to the Devil at the crossroads. 

You're absolutely right about the mix of genres that bleed into what we're now calling Southern Gothic, and of course the South also has the loss in the Civil War and the destruction of their previous way of life in their past, with an estimated 260,000 Southern soldiers dead. If you've ever seen the Ken Burns documentary about the Civil War, then you've seen stills of dozens or hundreds of amputated legs in one pile and a nearly equal pile of severed arms in another. And another 360,000 soldiers were killed in the North. Then Sherman marched to the sea and burned everything in his path, including Atlanta.

 

Consider all the slaves who died of torture or neglect or both, and add New Orleans Voodoo and Southern Hoodoo to the mix, as well as Christianity and gospel music. 

 

Earlier, there were pirates and privateers in the area when Florida was part of the Spanish Main. 

 

So it's easy to see why the American South feels haunted--all those crumbling old graveyards along the coast and the Smoky Mountains themselves--and I hope Lana legitimately taps into its rich atmosphere and history. There's no other part of America like it. 

 

But knowing Lana, I'm not holding my breath, especially after the apparent shift she's made about the project. As I said yesterday, it could be that half or more of the original concept has been chucked out the window. 

[Crys10 2,871]

Read somewhere that LG7 is coming in Q1 of 2025. Watch Lana postpone Lasso to 2026 because she wants everyone to have their moment. She’s just that sweet. 
Also

Now that Ariana, Billie, Taylor, Charlie, Sabrina, Beyoncé have had their albums released and eras over can she please go back to working on Lasso album rollout without having to think twice about anything? 😭😭

[gasstationkween 5,615]

Lana will be campaigning for the reunification of Ireland on her new album with a cover of the foggy dew 

[Rico25 7,871]

yall basically want her to have her Preacher's Daughter, and I can't be mad about that 

[ultrabanisters 44,631]

But truthfully, when I'm in the middle of making a record - especially now, when the world is in the middle of such a tumultuous period - I find I really need to take the space for myself, far away from real life to consider what my contribution to the world should be in these dark times.

So each morning I have the luxury of asking myself, "What shall I cook up for the kids today? Something with a little spice? Something with a little bitterness but is ultimately sweet? Or shall I take the day off and turn down the fire, and just take a moment to send my love to them over the ether?"
