Ethel Cain Says She Hunted Down Synths From the ‘Twin Peaks' Soundtrack to Make ‘Nettles'
Ethel Cain is getting ready to release her album Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You on Aug. 8, and on Wednesday, she shared a preview of the project by offering her eight-minute single 'Nettles.' In an Instagram story posted to one of her art accounts, she said that the song was inspired by Twin Peaks, and that she hunted down the specific synths that composer Angelo Badalamenti used to make the show's classic theme song. 'Also fun fact,' she wrote in her Instagram story. 'To everyone saying the song reminds them of Twin Peaks; late last year i watched that video of angelo badalamenti explaining how he wrote laura's theme and loved it so much that i hunted down the synths he used for the twin peaks and bought them and those are the ones i used for 'willoughby.' that video is also the reason i decided to watch twin peaks lol.'

Badalamenti collaborated on the music with the show's creator David Lynch and singer-songwriter Julee Cruise, eventually creating the theme song 'Falling.' The classic track was the cornerstone of the 1990 soundtrack Music From Twin Peaks, and the song went on to win the 1991 Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. Cain said in a statement that 'Nettles' was written around the same time as her last album. 'This song and the last track on the record were both written the same week, the very first week I moved into the house in Alabama where I finished Preacher's Daughter,' Cain said. 'In similar fashion to Preacher's Daughter (specifically 'A House in Nebraska' and 'Strangers'), I wrote what essentially became the beginning and end of the story without realizing it. What were originally just little vignettes of emotion I was feeling at the time ultimately became the tentpoles for a larger narrative.' She added, ''Nettles' became a dream of losing the one you love, asking them to reassure you that it won't come true and to dream, instead, of all the time you'll have together as you grow old side by side. Every once in a blue moon, it feels good to slough off the macabre and to simply let love be.' In an interview with Rolling Stone, Cain opened up about her creative process and says she has multiple characters and generations all tied to the same universe across her albums. 'This is going to be 15, 20 years from now,' she says. 'I work very slow. That's how I like it.'

Ethel Cain will bring tour to St. Paul after release of her second album this year
Ethel Cain's penchant for balancing dark ambient textural soundscapes with pop hooks will be on display in September when her tour comes to St. Paul. Cain's "The Willoughby Tucker Forever" tour will head to the Palace Theatre on Sept. 19. The tour name comes from her upcoming album, Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You. It'll be Cain's second album released this year when it arrives over the summer. It follows Cain's heralded and, possibly, most experimental recording to date, Perverts, which was released in January. The album's announcement characterizes Willoughby Tucker as a prequel to her 2022 debut, Preacher's Daughter. (Tucker is the name of Cain's high school boyfriend, who surfaced in the song "A House in Nebraska" off that debut record, per Pitchfork.) The St. Paul stop is the second-to-last date of the tour's North American leg, which will have 9million opening at the Palace Theatre. Tickets for Ethel Cain at the Palace Theatre went on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, March 28. As part of the tour, Cain will partner with the Ally Coalition to donate $1 from every ticket to local organizations that support the trans community.

Ethel Cain Prepping Second 2025 Album ‘Willoughby Trucker, I Will Always Love You'
It's been nearly four months since Ethel Cain dropped her Perverts project in January. Now, the singer-songwriter is ready to show what she's been doing in the time since then with a surprise new album announcement. On Monday (March 24), Cain revealed that her sophomore album Willoughby Trucker, I Will Always Love You will drop this August. Serving as a prequel to her critically acclaimed debut LP 2022's Preacher's Daughter, the new album's storyline will take place in 1986 according to Cain's Instagram, which she calls 'the year everything changed forever.'

Hitting major hubs like New York City, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Austin, the U.S. leg of the outing will wind up on Sept. 20 at The Salt Shed in Chicago before heading overseas in October. After releasing her experimental studio recording Perverts in January, Cain came under fire for a series of posts to her Instagram Stories in reaction to the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Johnson, where she used the hashtag '#KillMoreCEOs' and told her fans that she did not intend her post as a joke: ''Violence is never the answer' wrong. Sometimes it is.' A number of Fox News hosts called her comments 'depraved' and said that listeners should 'boycott her.' Cain, in response to the criticism, said that her comments weren't political, but steeped in reality: 'I find it funny that conservatives try to paint me calling for the death and destruction of multi-billionaire CEOs as some radical 'woke liberal' standpoint,' she said. 'As if that even has anything to do with politics, especially in this era of surface level circus politics.' Tickets for Cain's Willoughby Trucker Forever Tour go on sale on Friday (March 28) at 10 a.m. local time at the singer's website.
