my best guess is there’s nothing to say bc nothing has been sent into vinyl prod yet or even submitted to the label. that’s when they usually get their info. Like with ocean blvd we knew about a&w months in advance. im sure someone’s heard smt, but nothing concrete yet and honeymounz is a troll.

I know she was supposed to do a vogue us cover (or so i heard) sometime around coachella Never came to fruition ig Maybe she rebooked to align with album promo?

Her announcement post suggested that she finalized *a* tracklist (whatever that may be might never come to fruition). Highly doubt it was sent to vinyl production then or now. We know Ben and Ed are sales hungry so I expect multiple covers and variants again, which I doubt are even realized yet. My best guess is she posted that to promo the stadium tour but I’m thinking this album sees the light of day maybe late summer or spring 2026.

The new album was so ridiculous trying to self-mythologize / paint herself as a martyr and repaint her career reeked of narcissism and an out of control ego. I get why tnd gave it a 1/10 not because the production is terrible or the lyricism it’s the picture it’s trying so desperately to paint. I just can’t believe it honestly. An tegregious marketing campaign of positioning herself next to actual musicual legends. Something she will never be.

Psychedelic production isn’t happening. She’s shown no interest in rock since Ultraviolence. I’m fine with this album being stripped back but if so the lyrics need to hit. I’m talking Diamonds and Rust, early Dylan, not “tell him that his cowgirl is gone go on and giddy up” not that that’s particularly bad but a whole album of just aimless love songs with nothing to say will be a slog to listen through. kind of like chemtrails, she was so insecure about it leading up and while i like the album it doesn’t really get at anything thematically like what are the chemtrails? You know?

BUT BITCH.

I like some of Ethel’s music but thought Preacher’s Daughter was a bit undercooked and more aesthetics over lyrics. I kind of hate the idea of concept albums it gives Melanie Martinez dollhouse. HOWEVER,,, american teenager is a great song. I hope she delivers. I’ll give 10s where 10s are due. if it’s good i say it’s good, but if it’s bad i’m going to say it’s bad..

The heads will roll-esque instrumental at the end I LEVITATED

Another mcremix.

Oh The 1975 don’t make that serve

She went full eccentric with this. Love it. Her staying true to the art in the midst of mainstream success is very Lana-coded. The song with Caroline is excellent. I haven’t listened fully but I’m excited to.

Bitch… you know when she starts blocking fan accounts a “statement” is brewing. I.

I’m sorry but she’s a pathological liar and it’s sending me 🤣 like girl… you’re telling me Jack and Margaret, and their entire table, weren’t also cheering for you? Not to reach, but I think she still has deep insecurity within the “pop” world, and probably feels more welcomed by the country world who 1) she is a newcomer to and 2) she hasn’t been scrutinized by. Hence her embrace of country/the South/**** yes ma’am. I got the tea ☕️

There She Goes - The La’s Goldtone - Kurt Vile Halah - Mazzy Star Bitter Sweet Symphony - The Verve Coffee & TV - Blur Coney Island Baby - Lou Reed Sour Times - Portishead Paint the Silence - South Lazy Eye - Silversun Pickups Helplessly Hoping - Crosby, Stills & Nash Dont Think Twice, It’s All Right - Dylan Ghost On - Angel Olsen Teen Age Riot - Sonic Youth Listen to these amazing songs! Always on rotation this time of year.

Even if she did get a nom she’s not going for this song lmfao. Iirc she didn’t even go when Paradise was nominated for best pop vocal. I think she only shows up when nomd for major categories like soty, roty, and aoty.
