but she specifically said that it's going to be an ambient project... 

as i said a few pages back, idk what y'all was expecting when she spent most of 2024 release 14 ambient songs on soundcloud, one of which was 40 minutes.

where? I guess I missed that. Punish shouldn’t be a single then. Set everyone for disappointment 

i can't remember where exactly but it was known since 2023... 

[racecar 2,515]

also it was obvious she was experimenting cause she made a review on yt for a noise generator one year ago (marsona 1200a), which screams ambient music

this project is truly beautiful. i already loved housofpsychoticwomn, this was such an experience to listen to  my other favourites are vacillator, onanist, perverts and amber waves (so far)

[Sunset Opal 4,384]

I hate her so much this album is way too good and way too painful to listen

Pretentious, tryhard and disappointing. Why did she make it seem like it’s a full song album when u only get 4 normal songs one of which was a single?  

take ur 4/4 time signatures and go touch some grass bye

I predicted I was going to like amber waves and I was so right 😭

THE MOANING AND GROANING NEAR THE END OF HOUSOFPSYCHOTICWMN??

So I don't really think this record is for me. However it's still really good,

Do y'all remember that livestream Hayden did on YouTube a few months back of her making an ambient track for Soundcloud? Part of that intro was used in Thatorchia. That must be why she took it down so quickly.

i can’t stop replaying these tracks, god this is gorgeous

[Furor Poeticus 16,418]

I really like this article by Stereogum

 

Happy Perverts day! Slower tracks, as well as ambient/drone aren’t always my cup of tea, but I madly respect this project 

[Rico25 8,000]

Why are some of yall so mad that some of us, like me, don't like this type of sound tho 

 

Punish still slaps, but yeah I'm not going to revisit this album much unfortunately 

 

Love the visuals though and I guess they match the sound 

[dotwestcoast 1,355]

I knew I'd love amber waves this much

The comments on her post are pissing me off. Someone whose latest post on their page is them in a folklore cardigan complaining that there’s no lyrics and that the album is trash. Obviously this album isn’t for everyone, but you don’t get to discover Ethel after seeing American Teenager on TikTok and then dictate the music Hayden releases  The entitlement is so crazy. And rude.

 

I love this project. It won’t be a constant listen for me as it’s very heavy, but it’s beautiful and thickens the Ethel Cain atmosphere. I feel like this music is more in line with the visuals of ‘Ethel Cain’, maybe even more so than Preacher’s Daughter that I feel in retrospect lacked a bit of ‘roughness’ in some of the tracks. (Although I listen to that album daily). Amber Waves, Punish, Perverts are all spectacular and when I listened in the dark last night I was terrified.

 

If you are shocked that this is the music of the album I don’t know what to say to you, because it was going to be this all along. I think this is such a bold move but also a necessary one for Hayden, as she is sharpening her vision and storytelling rather than diluting it as a result of her popularity. It’s not commercial, but at the same time I hate to see these basic ass chart music bitches in her comments telling her it’s bad!! THIS MUSIC ISNT FOR YOU!!!!!

WHERE IS 009 HAYDEN?!?!?

[sweet cereal killer 254]

listening right now 

[bluechemtrails 27,588]

I think the album is more accessible if you skip Perverts, Housofpsychoticwomn and Pulldrone (they all have only a 79 rating on aoty.org )

[MrFameKills 11,133]

Housofpsychoticwomn hit
