## Caption

Ethel Cain is clearly over the fan worship, the “musician as celebrity” noise, and the dangers of becoming grist for the content mill: Everything about Perverts screams it. It doesn’t want to be easily liked. Its opening track is 12 minutes of disquieting white noise that’s genuinely perplexing and probably purposefully placed to thin out the listeners who don’t actually “get her.” ⁠
⁠
But those who meet Cain on her turf will find Perverts very beautifully (and slowly) open up; its dark ambient stretches are richly challenging, plains of drone and piano that reveal its intricacies the longer you scrutinize. Closer “Amber Waves” is 11 minutes and exceptional; after all the heaviness, it’s the project's lightest song and has Cain quietly reassuring that she’ll “be alright,” a reward for sticking it through. Fascinatingly, her core fans — and the wider critic community — are receiving the message, with the overwhelming majority praising the project even harder for its inscrutability.⁠
