Transcript
Serious question for Ethel Cain fans. How do you listen to her music without the light inside of your soul like dying? Because I kind of remember when I was like super depressed in 2020 and I was telling my best friend and I was like, gosh, like sometimes I just listen to Mitski in the shower and like Phoebe Bridgers and you know what her response was? Turn that shit off. And I still think about that to this day.
