pulldrone ambient is soooo in for 2025!! i didn’t expect this album to emotionally touch me as much as it did, but, especially the last three songs, i find myself coming back to. it feels like the sound of becoming and change somehow, although i don’t know what it’s about. i think a lot of her stuff is quite self-determinable though, so im trying to find as much beauty in this one as possible..

so beyond excited for willoughby tucker, i’ll always love you… i’ve been awaiting this album for a very long time now and i am so excited to see what some of the old demos turn into on the record.
ethel cain released “nettles” yesterday, and despite being a little underwhelmed when she first announced it (nettles wasn’t the unreleased track i was most excited for), i bawled my eyes out when i heard it for the first time.
i also realized that the album comes out on my boyfriend’s birthday (i will not be normal about this), and for the very first time in our relationship, i will be with him on his birthday. i asked him if he wanted to listen to the record together on a little hike into the german wilderness (and maybe playing in a creek or river) and just enjoying each other and the album in late summer‘s natural beauty. he said he would love to!! i can’t wait to be rolling around in sunshine and dirt and kissing and loving my boy to the album :3

I just finished listening to Ethel cain's new album, and to be honest it was a bit of a let down in my opinion. I thought that the lack of vocals on a lot of songs was disappointing. The "ominous and heavy" atmosphere that she intended to weave throughout this album wasn't coming across as is to me. I found it a bit plain. And the fact that a lot of the tracks are over 10 minutes makes it a bit off putting. I don't think that I'll reach out for this album frequently. Nevertheless, I liked listening to it as it felt like an "experience", but I'm not sure that I'll listen to it like her other songs in her body of work (growing pains <3).
I'd love to know what other people think of her new album!

- E+E / Elysia Crampton (2013) • Album
an epic mass of sound collage. the liminality of music; of everyday sounds takes on this sort of primal urgency, in which faded memories of familiar commercials both Latin and American; of music through a broken pair of headphones; of bustling city traffic break through the psyche with the strength of a saturated kick drum. when the brutish intensity of it all slaps you sideways, you see the childlike fragility of the memory still remaining. the anonymous female voice (and it is a HELL of a voice. don’t get it twisted, for all the nothingword vomit i’m spewing up this album’s ass, it sounds seriously addictive and seriously beautiful) recontextualizing pop hits over city ambience, rainfall, crackling firewood. Drake lyrics become mournful, John Mayer cranks up the longing to Number Eleven. it is anti-colonial, reinterpreting these sounds; displacing them, to create its unfamiliarity. yet in the bleakness there is warmth. Elysia Crampton has no regard and no time for Traditional Western Music Production, and THE LIGHT THAT YOU GAVE ME TO SEE YOU acts as a brash, rugged interrogation of the “why” and when The Light shines through, it takes on a new form: a tearful, solemn, busy question: “why?” coughed through the smoke of an exhaust pipe.

i never thought of myself as a morning routine person. but this past year at uni, i started journaling and making myself a nice breakfast and coffee every morning. it accidentally turned into a little self care ritual and i’ve found those two little things consistently appear and make my days just a bit better.!
