Perhaps we should open the Sirens Pre-Pre-Release Discussion Thread

i’m trying to find a way to break some bad news to the whole fan base….. wavs of this album don’t exist. The ones on the CD are upscaled to wav to go onto the CD. i believe when she made these demos they were exported/bounced in mp3 quality. they look very similar on spec and sound the same. sorry guys

Are they at least 320kbps? We have some songs in 128kbps or there's the full album in fan remastered/upscaled 320kbps form

This post is a year old but I'd just like to say that I still stand by this   I'm willing to swap out Pretty Baby with Peace though

don't forget river road if by chance it actually isn't next to me

 

(i actually just read somewhere here from a very early thread that for charlie was 2:30 in length which would mean that it isn't for you, but a different song)

at the beginning, this album scared me but in fact I really like her voice on it 

[nfrs daughter 17]

ive been wondering what sirens // the may jailer era truly was ? ive seen a lot about lizzie, but not much about may. i haven’t been able to listen to the full album unfortunately since i cant find where to listen (if anyone knows where to i can find it lmk), but i have listened to a few tracks like “For K, Pt 1”, “Bad  Disease”, and “A star for nick”. If anyone’s got any information on May please respond !! would love to learn more about her !!

[Dark Angel 202,157]

i feel like most fans would agree that the may jailer era took place in 2005 and 2006, there are three projects from that era, young like me, an EP which was registered in april, 2005, from the end, an EP which was registered in december, 2005, and sirens, an album which i believe was probably compiled in early 2006, there's not a whole lot which is known about the may jailer era, but we do know that this is an actual stage-name that lana used at the time, there's a photo of the actual CD with a hand-written note by lana which she signed as "may jailer"

there has been quite a bit of discussion about this era in the past few years as there has been more users (including me lol) who are big fans and are fascinated by her earlier music

 

you can listen to all three of those aforementioned projects using this masterpost created by @That Venice Bitch

i would recommend exploring the website for learning more about that particular period of time, i would recommend the early shows section, since it'll give insight into the transition from may jailer to lizzy grant, you could also look back at old threads that may pertain to the may jailer era

 

also, if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask! i kinda know my stuff about the pre-fame days of lana's career so i will either know the answer or will share my speculations based on what i already know
