Ethel Cain - "A House In Nebraska"

[𝕡𝕙𝕖𝕖𝕓𝕤]

Ethel Cain is a Floridian singer-songwriter whose debut LP Preacher's Daughter dropped last week. Her music is lush, haunting and dark bringing to mind Lana Del Rey, Enya and Florence + the Machine. She definitely reminds me of Lana, but if Lana was more...cult-y? idk how to phrase it.

anyway, this is a standout on the new record. a demo of it has been floating around for a year, and the finished song is gorgeous. I suggest you listen to "American Teenager", "Inbred", "God's Country" and "Gibson Girl". very tempted to go full Taylor/conan gray for this woman, she is super talented.

edit: well she's signed to dr Luke's prescription songs....I hate it here

Finally sinking my teeth in to the album a bit more after absolutely loving 'American Teenager' this summer. Wow, 'House In Nebraska' is absolutely, monstrously devastating and haunting. What are your other faves, Pheebs?

I think the most underrated song on the record is “Sun Bleached Flies” by far. It’s the sound of her ascending to heaven and it really sounds like that. SBF & “Strangers” is such a heartrending 1-2 punch at the end of the record.

“Western Nights” took a while to grow on me, but I’m really into it right now. She has this ethereal, haunting sound, like an ooky spooky Enya. “Inbred” is disturbing & epiccc but not on preachers daughter

I’ve been listening to this album quite a bit lately, and this is definitely a highlight. I slightly prefer both “American Teenager” and “Sun Bleached Flies” (chilling), but really they’re all stellar.

The songwriting here is incredible. It wasn't one of my favorites on my initial listen of the album but it's growing on me.
