This is mostly going to be a place where I put new things I'm listening to, but for the sake of a test run, let me start off with one of my favourite albums in the world (and yes, I'm a boy who listens to Ethel Cain, allow me to don my quarterzip and acquire a shelf full of feminist literature and an iced matcha latte also). I'm genuinely wearing a knockoff merch T-shirt for this album as I type. I don't particularly feel like summarising the entire lore right now but sugarfantasies has done an insanely beautiful site to explain it. Overall, I find this album has songs for every type of sad, coupled with the storyline running through it. I saw Ethel live with my best friend in the Willoughby Tucker, I Will Always Love You tour, in her encore she claimed that American Teenager would be her last song, and then surprised us by playing Sun Bleached Flies: my absolute favourite song of hers. I genuinely cannot explain how happy I was in that moment lol (I had seen on her subreddit that she hadn't played it in any of her previous performances).
