Perverts

Ethel Cain’s ninety minute plunge into drone, noise and slowcore, a study of shame, desire and the body made to be sat inside rather than sung along to.

About the record

Perverts is Ethel Cain’s first long form release after Preacher’s Daughter, released January 8, 2025 on Daughters of Cain Records. It steps outside the Alabama saga entirely, trading heartland songwriting for drone, dark ambient, noise and slowcore across nine tracks and nearly ninety minutes.

Its subject is the body and its shames, desire, self pleasure, the ache to be wanted and the fear of being seen. It is her bleakest record and her most demanding, music built like a room you sit in with the lights off, and the clearest sign that the project answers to no one’s expectations.

per·ver·sion /pərˈvərʒən/ noun
the turning of something from its original course, meaning, or state into a distortion of what was first intended.
