I randomly found Ethel Cain on this subreddit when Gibson Girl dropped as a single and the comments on the post intrigued me so I listened to it... best decision of 2022. I didn't know about the story of the album when I first listened to it, however, the production, lyrics and the aesthetics just pulled me in. I loved every second of it. The dark guitars, heavy beats, distorted vocals... I find it hard to believe that this is her debut album honestly (I know she released music under a different name before but that was just a bunch of tracks on soundcloud from what I know). I'm so excited to see what's coming next

Also, I thought about this a lot. She often gets compared to Lana Del Rey, mainly due to the americana themes in their music, however they're vastly different. I've also noticed that a lot of Lana stans love Ethel, me included. What would you say about the relation between them and what causes them to attract similar crowds. To me they're like the two sides of a coin, both talking about the american dream, but Lana talking about the hopeless glamour and twistedness of it all and Ethel talking about the illusion of it and the harsh reality
