tomsches 17,501 Posted August 7, 2025 Share Posted August 7, 2025 **** Me Eyes is my Song of the summer. Really took my breath away when I listened to it for the first time. Cant wait to Listen to the Album version of Waco, Texas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsemanche 95,075 Posted August 9, 2025 Author Share Posted August 9, 2025 She's done it again What an utterly beautiful and soft and devastating album. Not a single bad moment on this album. Tempest is a career highlight and probably her best song to date. RIP Ethel Cain, you will be missed. Soft, soothing, and succulent 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debithius 5,995 Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 Tempest is so amazing. I am just very sad that Ethel dreaded making this album. She said that she didn't feel anything while making it and that she was crying every day from the thought of having to work on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsches 17,501 Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 Great Album. I love it. But it’s very sad and depressing so I don’t know how many times I can listen to it in full. If I had to criticize it I would say that maybe, besides **** Me Eyes, there could have been one more a Little more upbeat song and some of the songs don’t have to be as long as they are. But Overall Great and I cant wait to hear it live in November. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmpiregrn 1,004 Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 Thank God. So, to be honest, the production isn’t really clicking for me at times — it has this sort of tin-ny quality that is common in a lot of slowcore music but that I feel just jumbles the more rhythmically complex songs, like Nettles, but works really well at other times, like Dust Bowl. It’s enough of a hang up that it’s hard for me to get over in the parts where it doesn’t work. But I’m enjoying the album, I’m a huge fan of Ethel.

Thank you for clarifying. I feel better about listening to it now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elohim 1,877 Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 Amazing. She really captured the nostalgia, the long ass tracks and instrumentals almost feels like a fever dream. Nettles is one of the most beautifully written snd produced songs I heard in years! also Dust Bowl album version with the amazing guitar riffs is to die for. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladle Ghoulash 33,502 Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 (edited) Ngl I like the feel and warmth of this record more than the overall vibe/aesthetic of Preacher’s Daughter. Her vocals are excellent. Crazy to me how much she sounds like Florence sometimes.

Sestri Levante 1,115 Posted August 9, 2025 Share Posted August 9, 2025 (edited) This is an insane journey, I'm totally amazed by how amazing the sound design and ambient moments were built. It's beautiful. RIP Ethel Cain Edited August 9, 2025 by Sestri Levante Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijahfan 26,846 Posted August 10, 2025 Share Posted August 10, 2025 Had it on repeat the whole weekend. I pretty much died, ascended and was revived several times during my first listen, it's such a beautiful album... Even though the subject matter is depressing, it feels very hopeful to me. It feels a lot lighter than Preacher's Daughter. I'm pretty big on melancholic music, it somehow doesn't depress me, it just makes me feel seen. Ethel is shaping up to become one of my favorite artists currently, I can't wait to see her again in a couple months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
