Ethel Cain - Perverts (2025)
"Perverts" is the second studio album by Ethel Cain, released on January 8, 2025. Departing from the Southern Gothic narrative of her debut, "Preacher's Daughter," this project delves into experimental soundscapes, blending dark ambient, drone, and slowcore elements. The 90-minute album comprises nine tracks, some exceeding ten minutes, creating an immersive and unsettling atmosphere. Critics note the album's Lynchian soundscapes, with distorted voices and droning sounds evoking a haunting experience. Tracks like "Punish" and "Vacillator" stand out, the former marked by ominous guitar riffs and the latter featuring reverb-treated drums. While the album's experimental nature may challenge some listeners, it is praised for its atmospheric depth and Ethel Cain's commitment to authentic expression.
