The Abolishment of Traditional Family Values

"The Abolishment of Traditional Family Values" (commonly abbreviated as "ATFV") is Helena Ln.'s first studio album and was released in 2020.

Description
The record reads like the average pretentious, DIY Bedroom Pop project and mirrors many stylistic trends that have emerged in various Indie releases of the late 2010s. Musical blueprints include Clairo, girl in red and other artists of this particular niche, while also pulling from the the audiovisual aesthetic of mid-2010s' Lana Del Rey with albums like 'Born To Die' and 'Honeymoon'.

The sound aims to reflect the subject matter and visual aesthetic which is primarily shaped by vintage Americana, with things such as convertible cars, motels, boulevards, old cinema, country clubs, etc. The era of 'The Abolishment of Traditional Family Values' is also defined by the matching dusty pink polo shirt and white bottoms both artists wear not only in the album cover but in the images associated with the era. The vague, conceptual storyline of the album deals with a "fake-married" duo, (portrayed by Helena and Lane) in a pretend-honeymoon-type setting while partaking in humorously unfit activities which are displayed by the record's song titles.

Canon
Even though the album was officially released in 2020, it has been remastered in 2021 with an updated album art as well as an entire limited edition version that features a new cover image and track list design.
