that take is "pretentious" in itself. 

 

did words lose meaning

[Furor Poeticus 16,330]

Long ambient pieces aren’t always my cup of tea, but I trust Ethel’s vision. Patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to longer compositions! 

[DCooper 36,900]

I love ambient instrumentals in general, but we need something more unique than droning sounds. I need a dark vision behind the ambience, which I trust we will get from her!

 

It's definitely good for people to adjust their expectations because this will not be similar to Preacher's Daughter at all

Some ambient albums that I think every daughter of cain should listen to whilst we wait for Perverts

 

• Narrowing Type - Good Night & Good Morning (Ethel called them the best band in the world, recently preformed a shorter version of Punish live with them, their music is all lively composed. 10/10 album imo. It's rich, airy and beautiful)
• Inca Ore/Grouper - Grouper & Inca Ore (Collab album by Inca Ore and Ethel's fave ambient artist oat; Grouper. Echoey dark folk)
• they are never coming back - Wulven (Dark-ish drone record, Ethel toured with this band. I Have Seen The End and It Is Beautiful was in her top 3 fave albums of 2022)
• The Body Lovers - The Body Lovers (Michael Gira side project following what was formally the breakup of his main band Swans. Similiar to "Soundtracks For The Blind", intended to be the final Swans album released a few years before TBL project. SFTB also is one of the greatest albums of all time.)
• The Winter Ray - Natural Snow Buildings (I think the majority of NSB's very long catalogue would appeal to a lot of fans of Ethel, this album is one of their best albums. Very cold and eerie. Off topic but if anyone wants to get into NSB's other albums I made a tracker for archive purposes that's pretty much got all the information on their albums. Ghost Folks is another recommendation I have for Ethel Cain )
• Purge - Crystallisee (not rlly drone music but it's a very dark ambient album. like darkly textured horror music almost.)
• Against The Wood, Opposed To Flesh - KAVARI (Ethel is a massive fan of KAVARI, Glasgow DJ who does dark edm and hard bass as well as ambient. Last year she released her debut album which was recorded in the span of 3 days. truly spooky shit)

 

If anyone wants more lmk!

absolutely despise wulven but will be checking out the others you suggested! 

 

i kinda figured this album was gonna be ambient-ish as soon as i heard punish. it'll def be interesting to see how people coming from PD enjoy it. I'm scared i'm not gonna be able to enjoy this album as i am rather picky when it comes to this genre, but am remaining hopeful

she said all but 2 tracks will have vocals, but she didn't specify if by vocals she means singing or if spoken word like housofpsychoticwomn would count too

also can y'all stop complaining she literally has over 100 songs counting unreleased y'all can go listen to instead if you hate ambient music so much. the rest of the album is clearly going to have more similar vibes to amber waves, punish, and housofpsychoticwomn than it will her 30 minute long sound experiments on soundcloud that she posted exclusively to there for a reason, no one is forcing you to listen to ashmedai and it's a completely different project from the ethel cain project

I'm very excited for this album but I can already tell it's gonna create the most unbearably pretentious takes on people not being into ambient music and 10+ minute songs by people that desperately want to come across as cool and highbrow. 

also I feel like a lot of people will use this as a way to shield from criticism… like ambient pop is still pop well sorta kinda and people are allowed to not like it without it being their fault because they don’t understand ambient

Where did u hear this? Like an insider or just people speculating

oomf's oomf so like take it with a grain of salt LMFAO but I believe he has direct contact with her sooo

 

i'd add Grouper - Alien Observer to that ambient list, one of the most beautiful projects i've heard, specially Come Softly
