Seeing Ashnikko praise the record on her insta story makes me so happy  Talent recognises talent

Make the album into a film ASAP the story is morbid and genius

While listening to it I can easily imagine the protagonist's downward spiral

Pitchfork should really come through with Best New Music

The Guardian's reviews are trash as usual

LOL they're so annoying, the review is like "evocative, emotional, haunting, intriguing, lyrical richness and atmospheric potency" and then at the end they're like jk it's too long 60%

the guardian calling it “goth pop” triggered me a bit

[Coloringbooks 14,120]

I'll definitely check out her new album

Some of the songs remind me of milder songs on Lingua Ignota's Sinner Get Ready especially Man Is Like a Spring Flower and that's amazing

im not adding the deleted albums but they would surely be in there

Where do people get these song explanations on Genius, some of them seem to have nothing to do with the lyrics lol has Ethel elaborated on the story anywhere or are these people making stuff up?

For example, on the Family Tree page it says "After the death of her boyfriend Logan in a police shootout following a bank robbery, Ethel finds herself on the run from the cops." but I don't get that from Family Tree at all lol

I’m new to Ethel’s music but I’m really loving the album so far. It reminds me a lot of Nicole Dollanganger, Sky Ferreira and even Caroline Polachek at times. Awesome dark Lynch vibes. So beautiful… been listening high and it’s been an experience. I also appreciate the long song-lengths. I love the guitars too!! Lana would sound great with production like that. Best new music/album I’ve heard in a long time.

She answered my question on her IG live 

Spoiler

August Underground does NOT share any inspiration with the film apart from the title 

That's so interesting

i’m pretty sure ethel’s good friend added those annotations on genius! she’s explained the whole story of the album to him but the rest of us are still kind of in the dark about everything that happened in the story, the songs are more of a companion piece of the scenes in the film and book than a complete description but that’s what they mean to her i guess. family tree is the soundtrack to that part of the story

 

Thank you!! Very interesting, I'm so curious to hear more about the film and the book.

i was the one who asked if she owned anything not white
