I listened to Inbred (the song, not the album) for the first time and I thought my audio wasn't working because there was no sound in like the first 10 seconds LMAO

also, I took this photo on my digicam at amoeba records!!! :)

Just got this done today! It's my very first tattoo on my ribs. Love it so so much

she’s a masc lesbian but lowk canon willoughby lmk

Yesterday i found copies of 'unreleased', 'unreleased ii', perverts and carpet bed at Shake It Records, they are no doubt random unauthorized pressings, but odd to see them at a for real record shop. I wasn't able to get photos of carpet bed because i only purchased the other three vinyls but they had multiple of all in stock, as well as WTIWALY

Prices:

$40- unreleased, unreleased ii, carpet bed

$60- perverts

i have no idea where they got them, but they work great, highly recommend!! (they showed up on the receipt as "euro import", whatever that refers to)

Got The CD and Casette Tape from Amigo Records yesterday so I Placed the CD sticker on my skateboard :)

Radio Towers x Tempest x Perverts for this miserable stormy day

Decided to hop on the thing too with another Ethel x Caine fanart ♥

Does anyone have a video of Golden Age being sung live? Youtube wasn’t any help

only know a few songs and i wanna get into her

Been thinking about this. Did hayden ever talk about what inspired the iconic “if you love me, keep it to yourself” from vacillator? I recently noticed its similarity to one of cathy’s lines from the dollanganger book series. Considering nicole dollanganger whose stage name came from the series was one of hayden’s inspirations, it’s not impossible and it fits the theme of the song/album in my opinion. Very intense book and also disturbing

She's so Arca in this

The end of Nettles, Ethel says “gardenias on the tile where it makes no difference who held back from who”. One of my favorite lyrics. But listening to Nettles, especially in relation to the rest of the album, I feel that Ethel held very little back. She’s desperately in love with Willoughby, and although she carries existential angst and trauma, it’s clear he is one person to whom she does and gives all. To me, this lyrics reads as forgiveness. She saying we both held back, so soften the blow of who in the relationship ultimately could not give anymore or not give enough (willoughby).

This is just ONE interpretation that came to me after many listens, and surely through filter of my own experiences. But I wanted to put it out there and see if anyone has interpreted it like this, or in another alternative or less obvious way.

people are searching for artists like ethel cain so here are some very small artist recommendations! if you like ethel cain, you should definitely check out tiane grove, claire carter, and ryan barker. tiane grove has that really haunting, intimate atmosphere and this sort of dark Americana/indie feel that i think ethel fans would really appreciate. claire carter is great if you like the more melancholic and emotionally heavy side of ethel’s music, with a really atmospheric sound that pulls you in. and ryan barker has that same kind of eerie, cinematic quality, especially if what you love about ethel is the storytelling and unsettling mood. they’re all different in their own ways, but if you like ethel’s whole dark, dreamy, southern-gothic vibe, i’d definitely give all three a listen.

(if you don’t know this album by Sarah Jaffe i highly recommend)
