[@neowollic]

THE THUNDERSTORM DURING PTOLEMAEA HAD ME ROLLINGGG 😭😭😭😭 impeccable timing

[@postumo_slowcore_beats]

LMFAO fr

[@SulySolano]

LIKE 😭😭😭😭😭

[@abemolles]

NOT THE THUNDER RIGHT WHILE LISTENIN TO PTOLOMAEA LMAO GURL YOU GOT THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE 😭

[@SulySolano]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jokacola]

it’s also all self produced which is INSANE. She is so inspiring fr

[@SulySolano]

No literally… like when I saw that I said WHAT

[@hadeurmom5796]

i heard it was co produced by her and 2 others

[@LydiaTaylorMusic]

​@hadeurmom5796 indeed she did do the initial writing on her own but there is a producer credited as well

[@keegan6356]

"I'm scared like will I be able to relate" girl i hope not damn

[@hectordied]

thank you so much for reacting to this piece of art ❤ for more context, i wanna let you know that this is not a movie yet. Ethel Cain is actually a stage name. Ethel’s real name is Hayden Silas Anhedonia. to clear up the story a bit, it tells the tale of ethel cain. in 1991, she falls in love with a man named Willoughby who eventually goes away. (she sings about him in House In Nebraska) afterward, she runs away, meets a man named Logan who gets killed. (Western Nights) then she gets kidnapped, pimped, murdered, and cannibalized by a man named Isiah. The song thoroughfare romanticizes what actually happens. oh! and by the way, isaiah did plan to kill her the whole time, but the cannibalizing was part of a mental breakdown he had after killing Ethel. Hayden herself has said that she is planning to release two albums and one EP in the future. the upcoming EP is called “Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You” and the two other upcoming albums are set to tell the tale of Ethel Cain’s mother and grandmother. she is also in the process of writing a book and possibly directing a film for the story. ❤ if you wanna check out more of her stuff, i really do recommend the Inbred EP. it doesn’t follow the preachers daughter storyline at all, and it’s a little more to your liking for sure!! p.s: i know what u mean by feeling a little uncomfy vibing out to the music, but remember that it is just a fictional story (even though things like these can happen). but there’s nothing wrong in appreciating the vibe of the songs lmao. much love!! ❤

[@kartkaesque]

She's also going to write a book trilogy and a screenplay for a movie trilogy. Idk if she can direct but wouldn't surprise me if she does

[@SulySolano]

Thank you so much for this context !!

[@Hey_Jamie]

@@SulySolanothank you for responding to this so I know you know now! So many reactors never acknowledge the context comments

[@bodhipeace]

Thanks for clearing up some of my confusion. I didn't understand how many guys there were. 🥸

[@lottathoughtsupinhere]

just truly amazing self production - the way she's able to control a listener's emotions with a VICE GRIP in every song is astounding. she should score movies fr

[@SulySolano]

Yes!!! It’s insane

[@cucumucu_]

She actually does movies scores, listen to her The God score here in youtube, it’s so haunting

[@TeganWatson-fp2wn]

Ethel is currently working on her "Ethel Project" which consists of 3 albums, 3 books and 3 movies- each one telling the story of the preachers Daughter, his Wife and his Mother

[@moreofvera]

first of of all - LOVED YOUR REACTION!!!

[@themindfullone]

Love this interpretation! Very thorough. I only listened to this album once because I found it very unsettling. I agree that it is allegorical, builds a whole world around a scary concept, and the listener is left to just sit with it and wonder what the fuck they just experienced. I’m still in that state weeks after listening.

[@SulySolano]

Omg thank you for this interpretation!!!

[@dawny12]

"the neighbours Brother came in a box" Our girl: *squeaks* I love it😂❤❤❤❤

[@SulySolano]

😭😭🤣

[@AmyAberrant]

When I first heard that I thought it was “my name is mother Cain” and I was like yeah it is!

[@theunitedkingdom]

This album makes me remember just how underrated a GOOD ad lib is

[@SulySolano]

YESSSS it’s heavenly

[@donnybuoy]

it’s like this album makes me wanna vibe but it also makes me sob, so I’m stuck here dancing with tears streaming down my face 😭

[@dollyfarton]

THE THUNDER WHILE PTOLEMAEA IS TOO PERFECT

[@Cal-hl5rm]

knowing that the creator of ethel cain is a trans woman raised in the south adds so much context and meaning to this story. loved your reaction

[@sieyes8738]

Hayden improvised televangelism !!

[@sieyes8738]

Im pretty sure Hayden also played all the instruments for the songs as well as writing, performing and producing the songs

[@SulySolano]

That’s even more impressive omg

[@bafumat]

"will I be able to relate?" You should hope not.

[@SulySolano]

Literally

[@jokacola]

NO TUCKING WAY YESSSSSS THIS IS MY NO 1 ALBUM OF THE YEAR SO FAR WITH OVER 1000 TIMES STREAMED AYAYAYYYYYAYAYYY IM SO HAPPY I LOVE YOUUU

"Listen i'm not hatin on the song, i'm just scared shitless" 🤣

[@nickcerezo8162]

Trust me, the struggle of Gibson Girl being a hot song but also thinking about the meaning behind it is rough lol

[@Haydentrudyjones]

Yes! So here for you loving this - her music, though heavy, is so refreshing in todays music landscape. Incredible storytelling and atmosphere, & self produced. I hope more mainstream people take note of her

[@mizzviolet]

lmfaooo the jamming to american teenager and then getting slapped with the rest of the album 💀 this is my favorite album and i just fell in love with you 💜 also i had to turn off ptolomea the first time i listened to the album because it was giving me such bad anxiety

[@mother_of_wasps]

If you're looking for more music thats similar, I'd recommend her three EP's, Nicole Dollangangers three most recent albums, and unbecoming by vyva melinkolya. Both of them are very close friends of ethels. The demo for hard times was actually produced by Vyva, but ethel changed it last minute. She says she regrets this. I'm going to be honest here, I think Nicole and Ethel are the best lyricists alive. In ethels EPs, the first, carpet bed, is acoustic guitar ballads with simple vocals. Nobody talks about it but it's truly beautiful. Golden age is where she starts doing the background vocals (Gregorian chants). Golden age is alt rock (nothing too hard) with some trap influences and her dream pop vocals. Inbred is alt rock, a little harder than golden age, but nothing like ptolemaea. The production is closest to gibson girl. Inbred is my fave work from ethel aside from her unreleased stuff. For Nicole, my fave album from her is married in mount airy. Its her most complex and transcends genres. Nicole has very high vocals. Not like Ariana, they're more ethereal. Natural born losers was Nicole's breakout album. I believe it is ethels favorite album, she even has the name tattooed on her arm. Its alt rock, but not very hard. It's rhe most similar to Ethels music. Heart shaped bed is similar to married in mount airy. Its more complex than NBL, but less than MIMA. There's folk, folk trap, sorta expirimental (not too weird) genreless songs, and one metal song. The metal song does not have any screams or yelling or anything. Finally unbecoming by vyva. Its alt rock, again, nothing too hard. Very slow. All of these alt rock albums fall under the category of slowcore. Unbecoming was Ethels fave album of 2023, and MIMA was another one of her faves. Side note, none of these aobums are scary like ptolemaea. I can't speak for unbecoming, but Ethels and Nicole's work is dark. Most of Ethels EPs are more sad than disturbing. Natural born losers has some disturbing lyrics but uts well worth the listen. Nicole's other two albums are dark, but again, more sad than dudturbing. Last edit, this is little talked about, but Isiah doesnt eat her whole body. He made a meal, and you might be able to infer from the lyrics in strangers, but he gets food poisoning from her.

[@mangaflipnoteanimations6159]

The disclaimer at the end of Ptolomaea 😂😂😂😂 "Nothing on the artist... But I'm SPOOKED!!"

[@JulietMHorner]

I absolutely LOVE your personality/energy! ❤️

[@silversliver8]

You vibing to strangers was so damn funny haha. I loved the side eye after “you’re so handsome when I’m all over your mouth” and then you just giving in and getting into it

[@usalax76]

42:27 It’s song the same vibe as watching a horror movie; yeah characters are dying but you know it’s not real so you enjoy the thrill it gives off. In Ethel Cain’s album tho it’s not so much thrill as it is soaking in & appreciating the artistry of the storytelling thru music 🖤

[@LanaDelReySupremacy]

ethel is the only artist to ever be with lana on my stan list. she’s really great.

[@flakeyjay]

She is like mazzy star, fiona apple, lisa hannigan, pj harvey, a bit of neko case wrapped in on singer/songwriter. Dark but damn how can you not feel the emotion unless you are dead.

[@jaylaalle5827]

i did not expect you to listen to ethel cain! this album is so underrated 🖤

[@parkdawg]

ethel really fucked us up by going from a pop-y song to immediately a song abt being the reason why the person she loved, left. lets you down so quickly. like DAMN GIRL 😭

[@PersephonesWrath_]

I love her but Hayden put us through whiplash this whole album, like we go from August Underground to Televangelism and we’re just supposed to be fine with it? 💀

[@fin7313]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE..... TURN IT UPP

[@SulySolano]

🗣️🗣️🗣️

[@randomm570]

Hi Suly, I think you would like Shygirl's music. Her debut album Nymph is so cool 🌸

[@SulySolano]

👀 I’ll add it to my list!

[@carmenximenacadena4808]

the reason why the piano sounds distorted sometimes it’s because she played this on her mothers 100 year piano! :D

[@Dak4L]

i heard american teenager and decided to fall asleep to the album not having heard the rest and i woke up to ptolemaea 😭😭 great album though my favorite of all time

[@Hey_Jamie]

Ahahahaha Gibson Girl was how I found Ethel. I had been looking for sexy pole dancing music, and after listening to a few songs on the @88DS channel, Gibson Girl came up on auto play and I was obsessed.

[@a.a677]

LMAO THE DESCRIPTION. Also I'm fucking dying at the thunderstorm during the perfect time. Ptolemaea (when Ethel is being tortured) and August Underground (where she dies and yes that was the walking of the man who killed her at the end).

[@johnathanm6231]

Sun bleached flies hit me the exact same way, i rly feel you 🫰🏾

[@constantine7953]

I feel like some of this stuff happened to Ethel Cain. Sadly.. I just felt way way too much feeling when Ethel screamed "Stop" in Ptolemaeus. Like from my perspective as an SA survivor that "stop stop stop stop" hit me in my soul. Even if it was just a script and a character that Ethel made, some parts of it just hit entirely too hard for me to feel like they just made a story to make a story, you know. It's just so deep, and in the songs you can feel the hurt and pain. I love what Ethel Cain has done as an artist, especially with this album. 😭

[@ecco2kbladee734]

her names hayden

[@lucybell8510]

sun bleached flies gives me the exact same reaction plz i loved this

[@Robin-sq3be]

Hard times breaks everyone

[@eleventyseven3742]

If you like a deeper, more soulful and emotive voice like Ethel Cain, I SO HIGHLY recommend you react to Titanic Rising by Weyes Blood! It's a little too gorgeous

[@user-ct9nz5hn4i]

NOOO THE THUNDERRRR LMAO

[@lillybee013]

I hate that the Family Tree (Intro)'s description on genius spoils the entire album 😭 Love your reactions as always 🤎

[@PaintThePaints]

Loved this reaction ❤❤ I HIGHLY recommend reacting to her albums Inbred and Golden age. They are like half as long as this album and just so phenomenal ✨✨😍

[@SulySolano]

Is it anything like this one in terms of storytelling ?

[@kaguragaming5510]

​@@SulySolanoyes,but I think for me inbred is more disturbing

Also if you like the concept album format and don't know about her already, Janelle monae's cindi mayweather trilogy is also a masterpiece.

[@enndromeda]

Love your reaction ❤❤❤❤

Thank u for watching 💜💜💜

[@malakas9142]

Kinda late to the party but in thoroughfare isaiah kidnaps ethel she doesnt run away with him . Hayden said that ethel cain is an unreliable narrator

[@sebastiansolimando1464]

Buen reacción chica ✌️🎸

[@jaxthesaxman]

Lmao your reaction to ptolomae was spot on, just pure terror. I don’t blame you for not being able to finish it, satanic ritual death hymns aren’t for everyone 🤣

[@gannonyouth]

It SHOULD be a movie 🤭

[@trajan1707]

She’s so talented!

[@SulySolano]

Trueeee

[@stephenjones4397]

If you're ever looking for another album to have a similar reaction to, I'd recommend "Sinner Get Ready" by Lingua Ignota. It's HARROWING. In some ways it's more palatable (it isn't directly about someone being killed and eaten, I don't know that any of the tracks are QUITE like Ptolemaea) but in some ways it's a harder listen (it's about the artist dealing with real things that happened to her) but it's genuinely one of the best albums I've ever heard.

[@carollopez3835]

Love your reactions ❤ I'm feening for that Lana BTD album reaction tho.

[@SulySolano]

Don’t worry… it’s coming 👀🤫🤫 (not born to die since that’s the only Lana album I fully know and listened to but others yes!)

[@hanspacey]

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS REACTION! my sixth sense knew it and i just made a carrot cake, slay

When I listened to this album I didn’t look up the story aspect or know anything about it. When Ptolemaea came on I felt physically sick 😂

[@Hey_Jamie]

Girl you need to get your playlists even more organized. I know you have a ‘reactions’ playlist but that’s useless. Should be divided by artist. Taylor Swift reactions playlist. Doja Cat reactions playlist. Olivia Rodrigo reactions playlist. If you have reacted to someone 3 or more times, playlist.

Ok period got u
