Thanks to @sway for posting this thread, we might know a little bit more about L4
https://atrl.net/forums/topic/480295-lorde-posts-short-snippet-of-new-music-on-her-instagram-stories/

 

Producers/collaborators:

• Dev Hynes 
• Jim-E Stack
• Fabiana Palladino

 

But where was this studio photo taken?

I'm assuming she is still in the UK where she has been working with Fabiana Palladino.

Does it look like the mixing console of any studio that you've seen before?

This was one of the easier spots to find! A random instagram post confirmed the name: https://www.instagram.com/exeter_sound_studios/p/C6uVaGeNiHn/

 

Here is Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead in Strongroom Studios (Room 2) in London.

Soooo does this lead us to anything important or any news or is it just a random studio 

[Heldenzeit]

I just know that Lorde's album will have what it takes to push Kacey from the top of my AOTY list.

Sometimes a studio is just a studio, but sometimes a studio can be linked to producers and other collaborators, or other information. Perhaps she just liked it because of the connection to Radiohead.

 

From the Strongroom-2 page:

https://www.strongroom.com/studio/strongroom-2/

 

Following a period as Nigel Godrich's private facility, SR2 was relaunched in 2018 as a joint venture with Nigel. Refurbished with a minimalist approach, featuring a selection of artwork and memorabilia from Nigel's personal collection, Strongroom 2 brings offers an alternative aesthetic for those in search of a contemporary feel with greater environmental control.

 

Studio 2 is a great sounding control room and a perfect home for my mixing setup. I love working there. It is a calm focused oasis.

 – Nigel Godrich – Producer

(Radiohead, Roger Waters, Paul McCartney)

 

The equipment list on that page is extensive. The centrepiece is the Dalcon 32 channel console and production equipment, and maybe not a huge list of instruments, although there are some synthesisers in the photos.

 

Plus their email address might also be a clue: [email protected]

 

This appears to be the place you go for your final production and mixing and maybe not the creative space for writing new songs. That might have been the role of Studio 13, where she was working last year. Perhaps most of the recording is finished and the final mixing will be done this month.

 

Or maybe she is going to record another 10 songs and give us a double album in 2025.

[RatGod]

anyways, lorde album rankings

 

1. solar power

2. pure heroine

3 melodrama

[Letemtalk]

June - L4 themed instagram post from Chateau Marmont, plus supporting Brat summer and "Girl, so confusing with lorde" remix.
July - pictures from working with Fabiana Palladino, plus she was in Strongroom Studios (Room 2) in London, possibly mixing her album.
August - she deleted her L4 themed instagram post.

 

I hope this doesn't mean that the hints about "27" are no longer true and she won't be finished before her 28th birthday, but whatever the reason, I would have thought she'd have uploaded a new picture by now.

 

I still want to stick to my month of the chrysanthemum album release theory (or season of the chrysanthemum), although after some additional research, I found that the season of the chrysanthemum could be mean anywhere from mid-August onwards. Perhaps we are already in the season of the chrysanthemum.

Spoiler

Chrysanthemums bloom naturally from mid-August to mid-January and are divided into those that flower mid-August to mid-September (earlies), before the frosts and can therefore be grown in the garden, and those that flower mid-October onwards (lates), which are normally grown in pots so that they can be more easily brought in and flowered in a greenhouse. Those that flower in between these dates are called mid-season.

https://www.woolmans.com/blogs/all/chrysanthemums-explained-earlies-lates-mid-season

There is also the significance in Chinese culture, where the chrysanthemum is a symbol of autumn and the flower of the ninth lunar month.

Quote

The plant is particularly significant during the Chinese Double Ninth Festival.

In Chinese culture, the chrysanthemum is a symbol of autumn and the flower of the ninth moon. People even drank chrysanthemum wine on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month to prolong their lives during the Han dynasty. It is a symbol of longevity because of its health-giving properties.^[30] Because of all of this, the flower was often worn on funeral attire.

Quote

According to the I Ching, nine is a yang number; the ninth day of the ninth month in the Chinese calendar (or double nine) has extra yang (a traditional Chinese spiritual concept) and is thus an auspicious date.^[4] Hence, the day is also called "Double Yang Festival" (重陽節).^[5] It is customary to climb a mountain,^[6][7] drink chrysanthemum liquor,^[6][7] and wear the zhuyu (茱萸) plant (Cornus officinalis). Both chrysanthemum and zhuyu are considered to have cleansing qualities and are used on other occasions to air out houses and cure illnesses.

This year, the Double Ninth Festival will fall on 11 October, which is the second Friday in October.

Of course she could have just picked a random flower emoji on her phone.

Perhaps there was a time that she felt like shelving the album or deleting some of the songs, but I suspect that would have been in 2023, when she wrote that e-mail about living with heartbreak again. I'm not expecting a deletion now.

I never thought about this before, but it makes so much sense that you might be right  still hoping it's because she's gearing up for the rollout though 🤞🏻

This might be right. Some insiders said we should expect her to comeback during Fall.

Is Silver Moon confirmed to be on L4 or has she changed direction?

it was just a throwaway from the album so it'll be more surprising if it ends up being on the album (maybe an updated version), a masterpiece that deserved a release...

Truly. Reflecting on an age-gap relationship during your coming-of-age would have reached Melodrama-levels of cult classic.

But even if it's scrapped it still makes me excited cuz imagine the actual album if she thought Silver Moon wasn't good enough
