I just finished listening to Ethel cain's new album, and to be honest it was a bit of a let down in my opinion. I thought that the lack of vocals on a lot of songs was disappointing. The "ominous and heavy" atmosphere that she intended to weave throughout this album wasn't coming across as is to me. I found it a bit plain. And the fact that a lot of the tracks are over 10 minutes makes it a bit off putting. I don't think that I'll reach out for this album frequently. Nevertheless, I liked listening to it as it felt like an "experience", but I'm not sure that I'll listen to it like her other songs in her body of work (growing pains <3).
I'd love to know what other people think of her new album!

pulldrone ambient is soooo in for 2025!! i didn’t expect this album to emotionally touch me as much as it did, but, especially the last three songs, i find myself coming back to. it feels like the sound of becoming and change somehow, although i don’t know what it’s about. i think a lot of her stuff is quite self-determinable though, so im trying to find as much beauty in this one as possible..

It took a while for me to get back into her music, but after listening to Nettles, I decided to listen to Preacher’s Daughter from start to finish and let me tell you. Strangers might be the best song I’ve listened to of all time, I‘m used to pop, and mostly EDM songs but ever since Ethel Cain has pierced my ear drums with her lyricism, production, and life with her music. I sweat there was no turning back.
Strangers is truly the culmination of Ethel’s life from start to finish and it really is the best way to close off the album. To those who have not yet listened to Preacher’s Daughter or Ethel Cain in general, please do.

First listen, unfortunately sounds like such a Disney film soundtrack, overly bright and expectedly theatrical. gonna give it another listen and share thoughts in the comments but safe to say I miss Isaac Wood's presence so much :/

This is very specific, but I just finished watching Slow horses after having read Karoo. While I was watching it I kept telling myself that Gary Oldman would be amazing as Karoo. Now I want a series of Karoo starring Gary Oldman.
