The influences from Grouper and Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter are so clear, and as someone who adores both of them, I'm here for it. It’s easily a 10/10 for me and will absolutely define my winter. After a few listens, I think Onanist is standing out as my favorite :legend:

I’ve been so moved and transformed by this album that I still need time until I can make any coherent statements on its superior brilliance that I’ve never found it any other music.

Firstly, I know nobody cares about my opinion. But, on first listen, this is really enjoyable, but I'm confused who else is liking this. I mean, when pop artists go 'back to the 80s', it usually doesn't mean back to the cassette culture of 1981, where labels like Industrial, Come Organisation and United Dairies would put out random craziness from bands with names like Whitehouse and Nurse With Wound. That is some of my favourite music in the world, but I still get confused when it briefly crosses over. I'm always happy when the dingiest darkest music gets more ears (unironically) listening. Maybe next will be a cover of '150 Murderous Passions'?

I’ve never listened to this type of music before but I really liked it! The first track scared the shit out of me but when I listened it was 5 am and pitch black outside. The album gave me Skinamarink vibes immediately, and that movie freaked me out so I think she nailed the whole concept. I loved Punish of course and also really loved Onanist on the first listen. I need to listen to it a few more times to get into the other tracks. It was perfect to listen to while working.

I usually wouldn’t enjoy this kind of release genre-wise but damn it Ethel made something very special. I really wanted to like this project and I’m glad I did. 


I played it in the evening, which was probably the perfect time of the day. I put headphones on and just dissolved into it
