Ethel Cain – Perverts [Streaming]

I wasn’t on the Ethel Cain bandwagon when Preacher’s Daughter came out in 2022, but the buzz around her new album, Perverts, caught my attention.
The drastic shift in sound—from the pop-rock sensibilities of Preacher’s Daughter to a haunting beautiful blend of experimental dark ambient, electro-acoustic, and slowcore—has sparked both intrigue and controversy.

Perverts is a challenging listen, delving deep into dark themes that aren’t meant for casual consumption or radio play. It’s an album best suited for an immersive, start-to-finish experience, but one that might not withstand frequent revisits without becoming overwhelming.

Ethel Cain’s decision to pivot so boldly showcases her commitment to artistic evolution, but it’s a risky move that could alienate fans who fell in love with the accessible anthem American Teenager.
However, this album’s audacity and complexity might just earn it a spot among the best albums of 2025.
