Yup, mentioned in a recent edition of that newsletter thing she does that she’s been working on new stuff and iirc she said it’s more bangers, less stoney acoustic strummers. Not expecting her to rush release anything any time soon, but maybe end of next year/start of ‘24 instead of the four year album cycle she’s been doing thus far. 

That monthly newsletter is so bizarre 😂 

[Spindles]

Is it as bizarre as the album track reveal video she did where she talked about which fragrances she was wearing for ages?

[Matt42]

The thing is she’s a great performer and her bangers really “bang”. I have faith in her that if she wanted to write more bangers they would go down just fine.

Dunno if I'm really over Lorde dropping Supercut, Perfect Places and Green Light in quick succession. Maybe I never will be.

The set was actually really fucking emotional in retrospect, maybe cause it was Sunday evening haha 

I think I said it earlier in this thread, but it's a shame she probably won't be back on the farm for a long time now, as I can't see what slot she could play. OS headliner?

Yeah it was fantastic. Love her to bits.

Here’s hoping for a monster 4th record and she headlines the pointy fucker. She’d have a set that could go toe to toe with just about anyone.

It was all fucking splendid. Absolutely loved the set design and outfits too. She looked amazing and her voice was great!

I definitely fell in love a little bit, I won't lie.

Phoebe into Lorde, LETS 'AVE IT

Looks like the fourth record might be coming sooner than expected after four-year gaps so far.

Curious to see which way it skews. Was a little underwhelmed by Solar Power but that's probably more down to personal preference.

Solar Power really grew on me.  I have a lot of love for it even though it's her weakest release so far.  I trust her!

Aye, think it'll be far from a misfire, whatever it is!

[Spindles]

It's a weird one.  I was underwhelmed by the album on release, but hearing those same songs at Glastonbury I really enjoyed them and Stoned at the nail salon was a highlight moment for the festival for me in 22.

I've got faith that she'll be back with bangers though.

She played superbly on the television for Glastonbury last year too, I will say, and it was a decent show in Leeds.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The new tracks were much better live.  I hope she produces some sort of document of the tour.

I reckon you might see something recorded from the upcoming NZ shows.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I was hoping something may have appeared on the Record Store Day list..... guess I'll just have to settle for the Long Pond Studio Sessions.

They'll fly out like hot cakes.

[CaledonianGonzo]

It'll be a bloodbath.

But I managed to snag Lover Live From Paris the other day, so you never know.

Nicely done.

No new tracks dropped last night but an utterly incredible performance. It’s been a long time since I was so engaged with an act from start to finish. The set was more elaborate than at Glastonbury and because it wasn’t performed in daylight there was more scope to build the lighting and video as the set went on.

If she can put out a new album and get back on the road in time she would make a very worthy Other Stage headliner in 2024.
