oh I’m jealousss, I went to the store to buy edibles for this listening experience but by the time I got to the checkout I was feeling anxious and ashamed so I wound up leaving the store with nothing but a fountain pepsi 💔
I know this project probably doesn’t have anything to do with the preachers daughter story but when I heard the first half “nearer to my god thee” I think of Ethel’s mother sitting in a dark room after the death of Ethel singing this it’s purely nightmare fuel and I fucking love it
This whole album feels like a fever dream about trauma and religion at is best, the numbness, the blank sound of it that involves almost all of the songs, the unsettling aura and uneasy words to hear, the blurrines of the speach, all of it feels like the aftermath of a sin, the remorse, pain, confusion, regret of doing something forbidden,emptiness, rage. Its amazing how she could capture all of those feelings on this songs its incredible
The visual of the power lines is perfect, probably the most beautiful thing we make in America. Sometimes they stretch for miles and miles in areas thick with trees and they are completely solitary
This project dropped in the middle of the night while I was watching Los Angeles burn on television. A surreal experience I won't soon forget. It honestly took me back to 2005 when I got Sigur Ros' Takk in the wake of Katrina. By the time Amber Waves hit and the flames were licking the PCH, I considered that Ethel Cain might be a supernatural being. I mean, the level of prescience here is off the charts. The first significant album of 2025 has arrived, forever defined by the deep sadness of unprecedented devastation and loss, like it or not
Few works of art have reached me in such disturbingly appropriate times as this album has. It is almost scary how every line and piece of sound design perfectly aligns themselves to how I've felt these past months; surpassed all prior expectations I had. Ethel cain you're really the best, girl, you've done it again, raised the bar for us all, composed the most haunting album out there and it is about pulling the padge.
I was talking to my partner about this song and the beginning and potentially what type of mic you used. They believed it was likely a condenser mic with some distortion, rather than a ribbon mic which is usually what’s used to capture that old sound. We both thought the sound was so haunting and amazing and were wondering how it was attained technically!!
For those that are new to this sound, are enjoying it...check out: Grouper, Labradford, Midwife, Flying Saucer Attack, Aphex Twin, and Stars Of The Lid.
dark ambience/drones always make me vibrate, here are other artists that also makes me dread (in a good way): Burial, Tim Hecker, Giles Corey, Have A Nice Life, Coil, clipping. (horrorcore probably counts), Lingua Ignota, Uboa, and Natural Snow Buildings where this album reminds me of: 1. SAVED! by Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter 2. The Divine Punishment by Diamanda Galás 3. Virgins by Tim Hecker all these are dark gospel-like albums, here's to the drones that pleases our ears 🥂
I am at a loss for words. This was a journey. The end of this song felt like a reality check. Just the way it ended. I had to pause the album. This is a “sit down and listen” album. I have to finish my bedtime routine first, otherwise I’ll wander all over my house, utterly lost in the soundscape. This was worth the wait ⌛️
what a haunting haunting rendition of one of my favorite hymns of all time. no artist is touching ethel cain in terms of a complete package and raw instinct of what connects.
@ nearer, my god, to thee. it’s also on theme with the lynchian implications of power lines as an image because nearer, my god, to thee recounts jacob’s dream in the book of genesis of a ladder ascending to heaven, transporting the angels.
@@au8438 all great artists and i would be remiss not to include gsy!be in the list of great dark, ambient artists. she transcends though when you take in the ethel cain persona and it genuinely shaping mainstream pop fans’ tastes. a say sabrina carpenter fan isn’t vibing with merzbow’s musical stuff. but maybe someone who digs ethel cain digs this and dips their toes deeper.
This is my first time for an Ethel Cain release! I’m already in awe by the brilliance of this already. My life is changing as we speak. I’ve heard of Ethel before but maybe I wasn’t aligned enough to realize what kind of genius Ethel is. I can already tell the rest of this all in is absolutely FOR ME! This all comes at a moment in my life where things are very heavy yet full of hope and light. Thank you so much Ethel! I cannot wait to have this as one of my favorite albums of 2025 and forward. 🖤 I opened UA-cam and it took me by surprise tbh that a whole new album was dropped!! Also I love your FAV GAYPRN vid review on UA-cam. A true icon with immense taste. 🥲 #PureArt… P.S This song is about to end and I actually don’t want it to but IM STOKED TO SEE WHAT ELSE THIS ALBUM HAS IN STORE!
The feeling of this is so intense. I know the feeling. The guilt, fear, and silence you want fill with songs and prayers you no longer believe in. So sick I’m obsessed
Surely i can't be the only one who was convinced that this the sound of ufos and this gorgeous album is the last thing i hear before i get abducted... and i aint screaming
I love the monotonous, industrial sounds layered throughout this song. It feels familiar and nostalgic while also creating a strong sense of unease and a trance-like curiosity. Reminds me of Aphex Twin's "Selected Ambient Works: Volume II"
the fast reckless driving leads to slow sad music lyric is crazy, i feel like i read that on a tumblr post in like 2013 , im pretty sure she even posted it at one point lol unless im crazy ???
This sounds like I’m on the ground bleeding out while being eatin alive by zombies and they just started chewing on my intestines just how Ethel wanted it ❤
I'm connect with this dear Ethel, i'm a kid in this. I'm also try to protect You with My minimal concience . You created something beautiful that we can be one for all , at least, in spirit. Receive My love. He causes to become 🌱
This is what it feels like to stare out of a window at night when you live out in a wide open area
I shouldve never picked up my joint before starting this listen
The pfp is serving
@@Pedonickatankbruh this is the 9th comment ur obsesed
Literally me. By the time it kicked in it was too late. It started happening to me
oh I’m jealousss, I went to the store to buy edibles for this listening experience but by the time I got to the checkout I was feeling anxious and ashamed so I wound up leaving the store with nothing but a fountain pepsi 💔
fr
the sound of guilt is so loud... i cant escape it
first minute sounds like every nightmare ive had about my childhood, luv it
I am deeply disturbed and probably won’t sleep. This is art.
i’m getting no sleep tonight but it’s worth it
literally same
i pulled an all nighter😭
its happening to us guys
it’s happening to every-body
I know this project probably doesn’t have anything to do with the preachers daughter story but when I heard the first half “nearer to my god thee” I think of Ethel’s mother sitting in a dark room after the death of Ethel singing this it’s purely nightmare fuel and I fucking love it
woah, love this
holy shit
Woahhhhh that’s
for me the "I love you" in houseofphycoticwomn reminded me of ptolomea. I was absolutely floored and terrified
This whole album feels like a fever dream about trauma and religion at is best, the numbness, the blank sound of it that involves almost all of the songs, the unsettling aura and uneasy words to hear, the blurrines of the speach, all of it feels like the aftermath of a sin, the remorse, pain, confusion, regret of doing something forbidden,emptiness, rage.

a tear fell down my leg.
this is so on theme
i shitted myself
It’s happening to all of us
this song has left me sick. i love you ethel cain.
feels like the scariest moments of twin peaks compounded into 12 minutes
the sound that emanates from me at all times
wow
i feel like somethin gonna pop up on the video and jumpscare me in the best way possible
LOL FR
When the video started shaking for a hot second i froze 😭
had to take one headphone out in fear of pissing my pants but i fw it HEAVY
Frrrr
im in the woods rn huddled under a tree listening to the coyotes hunt me down. the way ethel intended me too🙏
oh wow yeah
Oddly enough, despite the “far from help” setting these create, there’s something about it that feels strangely safe at the same time
it's like there's nowhere else to be but here
love this! gonna save this one for my wedding ❤
i am feeling so many things
Uhmmm did she just write the song of the summer??
Perverts summer iktr

this gives silent hill vibes and im obsessed

Can’t wait to play this for the kiddos .

apologies if the information in this comment doesn’t make sense, I don’t know much about sound but my partner does sound and mixing for a living
Awh it's okay queen

Aphex twin on top!!
APHEX TWIN MENTIONED

more music to disassociate in the woods to. thank you mother
when you go down the wrong hallway before the age of ten. thanks for this!
YALL IM TOO HIGH FOR THIS HELP
ME TOO😅😅😅😅
Ok I'm high rn about 2 listen
Im detoxing ..
obsessed with the way we all got high for this (and lived to regret it)
This is exactly what being in an MRI machine sounds like. It’s horrifying and amazing.
It does sound very metallic and magnetic 😅
i cant believe the day has finally come
I am at a loss for words. This was a journey. The end of this song felt like a reality check. Just the way it ended. I had to pause the album. This is a “sit down and listen” album. I have to finish my bedtime routine first, otherwise I’ll wander all over my house, utterly lost in the soundscape.
This was worth the wait ⌛️
I noticed that songs from your soundcloud ambient project are used in this ep. Absolutely beautiful 🩷
i love christian music ❤
This is drug music. I'm here for it. I love you Hayden.
intro scared me so bad i farted
NAHH YOURE HAVIN A GIGGLE. YALL THIS PLAYS AT THE START OF DUST BOWL ASWELL
YIPPEEEE
my jaw dropped when i realized… also i never knew the song was saying nearer my god to thee!
@ samee omg
I’m gonna play this album at my Halloween party this year
Thank you Ethel for this amazing Birthday present. I'm already obsessed with this album. ❤
The faint whistling, this album was made with so much thought and little details hidden, waiting to be discovered
first track in and my stomach is TWISTING
what a haunting haunting rendition of one of my favorite hymns of all time. no artist is touching ethel cain in terms of a complete package and raw instinct of what connects.
What is the hymn?
@ nearer, my god, to thee. it’s also on theme with the lynchian implications of power lines as an image because nearer, my god, to thee recounts jacob’s dream in the book of genesis of a ladder ascending to heaven, transporting the angels.
There are definitely other artists on this level... Lingua Ignota, Prurient, Swans, Daughters, Pharmakon to name a few

@ ok in this sense I completely agree. She’s perhaps the closest we have to bridging the gap between pop and experimental
Heaven has forsaken the masherbater : (
The masherbater 😔
I am so excited to listen to this whole album, I dont know what to expect but I cant wait to find out. laying down with headphones now 😊
MY LIFE IS COMPLETE
it is here yall
life immediately changed

I have chills and feel sick to my stomach… I love it! 🖤
I am loving this so much, and also terrified.
I'm at 3:48 and my nose started to bleed. What a listening experience, i love it Ethel❤ it's happening to everybody
bricked up for ts 🔥🔥
wow the intro felt terrifyingly cold I like it
ITS HAPPENING TO ME, ITS HAPPENING TO YOU, ITS HAPPENING TO EVERYBODY
it's like 3am rn how am I suppose to sleep after listening to this
uhhh you don’t😊
the intro is insane omg
Surely i can't be the only one who was convinced that this the sound of ufos and this gorgeous album is the last thing i hear before i get abducted... and i aint screaming
i almost shitted myself playing minecraft while hearing for the first time with my headphones at 1000000000% volume lmao😭
The comment made me laugh out loud 👍
i will work on a song with Ethel Cain one day, i’m speaking it into existence 🙏🏼
okayyy
perfect song to listen to while playing echoes of wisdom 🤩
This is some good Dark Ambient tbh
you know what... hell yeah
I liken this to a bomb having just gone off. This is nightmare art and I love it. It means a lot to feel seen right now with how loud the world is.
EP OF THE YEARRR
I love you hayden Anhedonia🕷️
This gives such Mandela catalogue vibes in the best way possible
An Ethel/NIN collab could change the world
I love the monotonous, industrial sounds layered throughout this song. It feels familiar and nostalgic while also creating a strong sense of unease and a trance-like curiosity. Reminds me of Aphex Twin's "Selected Ambient Works: Volume II"
thank you so much hayden for this album
Wasn’t able to sleep after this, this is what music was made for
Love you Ethel Cain
Im so excited yall
The feeling I get when I hear this makes me feel so strange and at the same time so good, I definitely love everything Ethel does for us🖤
This sounds like guilt and regret. A deep guilt and regret. Like the knife is twisting slowly to the point you can’t sleep at night
Idc if it’s just ambience, the mixed feelings I get with this hits HARD. Such absolute work and it’s majestic!! Love Mother Cain !! 🥰
thank u hayden ❤❤❤ your art is a gift to this world and i am lucky to exist at the same time as you
nearer my god to thee
Listening to this in bed last night the minute it hit midnight terrified out of my mind
guys im in a liminal space listening to this song i know nothing about ethel cain so maybe erm
wish me luck
we’re having nightmares tonight, and im not complaining!
1:00 I hate how the voices sound like they’re getting closer at this part (it reflects the lyrics too)
Thank you, Ethel Cain.
that white noise cleared out my head ache
this is everything to me
Godspeed You! Ethel Cain
I’m so sick rn where did this come from I need more
I've waited MONTHS
I shouldn't be listening to this at almost 3 AM now I'm terrified
the fast reckless driving leads to slow sad music lyric is crazy, i feel like i read that on a tumblr post in like 2013 , im pretty sure she even posted it at one point lol unless im crazy ???
Ok and
thank you hayden for this wonderful gift
new ethel dont talk to me for 5-7 business days thnk u
i have chills
thank you so much
This sounds like I’m on the ground bleeding out while being eatin alive by zombies and they just started chewing on my intestines just how Ethel wanted it ❤
I'm connect with this dear Ethel, i'm a kid in this. I'm also try to protect You with My minimal concience . You created something beautiful that we can be one for all , at least, in spirit. Receive My love. He causes to become 🌱
i sobbed at the last minute or so of this one
with ads is scarier
