idiot

I see variations of this every time I buy gear at REI

I think he was just going with the flow. I’m not a fan of the silhouette theory. I don’t for one second think an album was actually coming out. The pandemic definitely affected it, he canned that star hoodie that was apart of the 2020 tour, perhaps the new tracks were just fresh material?

Frank stated before that he wasn’t going to do singles because it built up expectations and he’s fascinated by the idea of surprise. It’s a pattern we’ve seen throughout his career but most notably post Endless/Blonde. He even pulled the plug on the August 5th release because NYT reported it early. With Channel Orange, he was already pulling it to a lesser degree with that surprise week early drop on live television.

Anyways, following LP3 & 4, practically everything from merch drops, singles to Blonded Radio and Homer have all come through a surprise.

Frank vaults videos all the time from Super Rich Kids, Hotel, Drive In, Chanel, & Moon River. I do think we’ll get a similar pattern with a video following the project though, maybe then?

Prep+ got mad heat from blogs and the LGBTQ community, I wouldn’t be surprised if pulled the plug on it because of that. Plus, he was in his dance bag at that time so a little recreation of fun club nights he had in Berlin doesn’t necessarily mean much, i don’t think.

been 17 days and still nothing but confirmation email, is it over?

ITS OVER

yep.

[ITS OVER…]

Did he drop? Havent kept up because i dont f*** with liars and flakes.

Yup, album dropped last night

fr? im too scared to contact support, dont wanna hear the bad news

i’m also so curious to know what kind of tour he was planning in 2020. small venues? stadiums? does anyone know anything about any leaked dates? could have sworn there was an MSG rumor…

though i feel like frank could pull off a stadium mini tour. like 5-6 cities, 2 nights each… doubt whatever tour he ends up doing will be more than 15 shows. and if he can get thousands of ppl to pay $65 for a vinyl, i’m sure he could command an average ticket price of ~$150-$200.

If you’re in the east coast/tri state most peoples haven’t been sent yet. Even though they’re shipping from Jersey we’re like the last to have ours shipped lmao

Damn where they shipping from? Ima run up on them 😈

We need all jersey KTT users to combine and storm the warehouse to get a leftover These Days vinyl

i deadass could drive to the warehouse and pick up my vinyl and probably heist a these days copy but some mf’s in england are eating first
no disrespect to the english

insanely excited for the lineup to drop this year. weekend 1 we out

camping with friends is relatively cheap in the scheme of things. and it makes the experience way more meaningful, i’ve been twice now and would only camp.

camping pass for 1 car is like 100, split that between 4-5 people per car in your group

buy cheap food, alcohol etc to bring into the campgrounds, you could get away with spending 100/person probably

use offerup to buy, or rent a tent/sleeping bags if you don’t have it already

pretty much the only real big expenses outside of travel obviously and the ticket

My finger tips and my lips

Hopefully this week

Would love it if twigs was on the line up too

I'd def skip the fest other than the day Frank plays if the line up is looking weak, and I haven't cared for one of their line ups in years

not sure where you got that he didn’t want to release singles from because he actually said the opposite. he wanted to release singles because it was a free form medium and mentioned wanting to do something “different” with album releases, which in my mind confirms that he planned to release each silhouette as a song so that an album / playlist could be compiled.

dear april and cayendo also have the silhouettes on their acoustic released on streaming which is further confirmation.

no tf we’re not

ain’t got mine yet fam

It’d be cool if Frank was just straight up like “yo, I’m gonna have a really tough time topping Blond so it’s gonna be a while” instead of hiding behind the guise of doing some weird different release strategy which is just him sporadically dropping bread crumbs.

Coachella lineup within the next 24 hours

I’m not a musician but isn’t “trying to top X” a weird mindset to have while trying to create something?

With anything you do your ego is gonna want you to level up or at least live up to the most recently set standard. It’s very hard to escape that mentally
