I kinda like it, seems forward thinking. I would imagine most of that would come with a hypothetical deluxe CD release and since she's not doing CDs, it gives a fanbase without a record player a way to get some sort of physical representation of the purchase with the download. Near idea, I wouldn't be shocked so see some musicians....borrow it in the future.

I think it's not a bad idea but "disc-less" makes it seem like you're getting an empty box. If it was called a poster and card bundle I probably wouldn't question it.

“I DECIDED EARLY ON IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING THIS ALBUM THAT I ALSO WANTED TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENTALLY KIND, FORWARD-THINKING ALTERNATIVE TO THE CD."

Sure, forward-thinking if you ignore the looking backward and producing vinyl for your release, which - I believe - a CD in a digipak would have less of an environmental impact than vinyl.

I say this as someone who likes Lorde, loves CDs and vinyl, and will acknowledge their cynicism....but I give a slight eye roll to the description (only slight because I think it is sincere, albeit silly)

I agree entirely, I don’t know if Lorde is using recycled materials for the vinyl which is possible, and she did point out her apparel prices are higher based on a choice of an environmentally conscious supplier, but new vinyl production is certainly not the greenest option, though streaming is bad too.

I meant forward thinking from a business sense, given CDs aren’t rally recyclable and some portion of her fans won’t have or use a turntable, so it offers an option for a physical release without that as any younger fans want the photos and posters but listen purely digitally.

Hmmm...that's a good way to look at it. Thanks for the fresh angle. I agree with that sense. Reading it made me think of the beginning of the "name your price" that artists adopted once upon a time
