Ok I think I mostly agree with your rating. Nettles is probably my favorite song she's ever written, but I'm also a huge fan of Janie, Dust Bowl, and the two behemoths towards the end
The first 4 songs are pretty good but the rest was an absolute slog to get through for me. I can only take so much 33 bpm in a row and by the time I got to the closer I laughed at its 15 minute runtime
After one listen, I easily prefer this to Preacher's Daughter (which I kinda liked casually but nowhere near as much as the consensus). This is probably overlong but I really like this sound and there's some absolutely beautiful tracks - the last two especially impressed me.
nice, seems like you are indeed the target audience in terms of vibing with this more than pd! did you check out perverts? i think the songs with vocals are fairly in line with this (if a little darker)
I haven't checked Perverts - didn't really seem, based on the reception, that I'd like it given my underwhelming opinion of Preacher's Daughter. But if this one keeps its hooks in me, may have to check it out.
definitely jam "punish", "vacillator" and "amber waves" off perverts! those are the songs with vocals, listening to that boi in full is uh quite an undertaking with the 10 min + full on drone cuts haha, but especially amber waves is just next level gorgeous
Just finished my first listen, might like this one even better than PD - it caters even more to my taste (and it's more focused, as you say). Nice review!
ah sweet! am very excited to see how this will eventually land in the greater ethel cain project (will future projects be as focused or return to the more grandiose vibes of pd etc) haha
I'm so excited to really dig into this. Phenomenal writing as always from the Flying Dutchman
hell yeah boi thank you! lmk what you think, i desperately want to discuss this album hahaha

currently jamming, loving "Fuck Me Eyes", will see if I love the rest as much !! what I do know is that Jesper once again delivered a banger
fuck me is def the outlier, lmk how the rest fared haha! and thank u babe <3
I *think* overall I like this one more than Preacher's Daughter? The highs aren't as high but also I'm always vibing which wasn't the case on PD
