Okay so analyzing that clip again + SP MV, I think this album's visuals take place in some post-apocalyptic cult commune. 

1. The bee-keepers in the background of the Solstice clip. We know that basically as soon as the bees go extinct, we have about 2-5 years before shit hits the fan, and then mass extinction. Maybe Lorde's cult is one of the few tribes left on earth that manage to have cultivated bees and use them to pollenate their commune. 

2. Lack of modern technology in the SP MV. The lyrics talk about her "boy taking pictures" and throwing her "cellular device" in the water, but we don't see either a camera or a phone in the video--just a weird ancient horn that was used in ancient religious rituals (see: shofar). 

3. Scarcity of food. In the SP MV, at 1:15, we see a group of Lorde's friends/cult-members sitting at a dining table--but the only thing they have in front of the whole lot of them is one bunch of grapes. This could tie in with the fact that food is scarce after whatever mass extinction/apocalypse has occurred. 

 

Maybe I'm just overreading tho idk

My boy behind me, he's taking pictures

Lead the boys and girls onto the beaches
Come one, come all, I'll tell you my secrets
I'm kinda like a prettier Jesus...

 

What an iconic line...

I didn’t say anything about “critics”. Go look through posts on any forum during GL’s release. Everyone accusing her of “becoming generic”.

ok so.. i though i would wake up to at least something, but nothing yet? Do we know anything yet?

Sorry! When I hear acclaim I usually go with critics by default

solstice is a 24-hour thing and the whole day today is solstice. it's probably gonna happen at a random time today like SP.

well we know that her mother liked a tweet about a single coming today 

+ that random tour date that appeared on ticketmaster with a presale starting on june 24 (but now it's gone)

[Thunder Revenant 20,936]

I hope the new song has a bit more gravity ... The lyrics of SP are so cringy. "Here is my comeback, it's a boring tune about how I love the sUmMeR sOoOo MuCh. yEaH aLl ThE bOiS aNd GuRlS aRE HeRe-AsWeLl wohooooahahahah "

Anyway, I elevated my hopes for a release today just to get nothing. It's solstice summer girl, where's Mood Ring?

chile it's coming, NZ is asleep at the moment and i'm sure she did not update her site just to set us up

 

i think if it's a single it will be coming around the same time she dropped solar power (midnight cet) OR around 5am cet since that's when she is going to perform on tv and i guess she will play solar power AND mood ring

 

i'm highkey expecting a tour announcement too, we will see

 

[Nightmare 9,848]

watch it be the tour announcement only

[Furor Poeticus 16,246]

Watch it come out on Friday 

 

Forreal tho, will it be out today or tomorrow? I'm getting bored

[Amandine Insensible 499]

tour poster for NZ leaked

 

+ we have a new UK date (26 may) besides that US one

 

she is probably going to announce the tour today or tomorrow since she has 2 radio appearances in nz

[CinnamonGay 10,527]

Istg if she releases on July 2 while BB on July 4......

[Furor Poeticus 16,246]

I know maybe the booty photo is the album cover, but if it isn't, I'm manifesting some over-saturated photo in that cultish setting. That'd be iconic
