‘Ethel Cain’s debut was a feat of artistry. This is a feat of musicianship.’  ​
​- 9/10 The Line of Best Fit 

One of the very best in storytelling and atmosphere.’ 
​- ★★★★★ DIY Mag ​ ​ 

‘…it’s a record about the inevitability of loss that never stops clinging to beauty, even when painful. It puts Anhedönia above all of her peers in terms of storytelling and artistic vision, and perfectly ends the Ethel Cain chapter before embarking on the next.’  – When The Horn Blows 

Don’t miss the immersive, captivating live show from Ethel Cain this coming February.
