by the way, I haven't seen anyone post about it here but she did an interview with TNYT and she kinda draggedT Puke :fan:

 

Quote

IN EARLY 2020, through the emo-rapper Lil Aaron, an online collaborator, Cain was introduced to the staff of Prescription Songs, the independent music publisher and record label owned by the pop super-producer Dr. Luke. On her first trip to Los Angeles, Cain showed up at the company’s shiny building “looking like an absolute hillbilly,” she said. But her nearly manic creative energy and works in progress wowed them, and they offered her a deal.

 

“Inbred,” an EP that was Cain’s first official release last year, showed pop potential on arch, deadpanned tracks like “Crush” and “Michelle Pfeiffer.” But her enduring vision of “Preacher’s Daughter” was immovable, and Prescription promised her complete creative freedom even as it has tried to gently guide her career.

 

“Every person that I put her in the room with, she loved meeting them, but none of it felt authentic and true to her,” said Marlee Kula, Cain’s A&R executive at the company, who was responsible for setting up songwriting and studio sessions. “None of those ideas ended up making the record.”

 

That included Cain’s only meeting with Dr. Luke, a polarizing figure in the industry in light of his ongoing court battle with the singer Kesha over accusations of sexual abuse. (Cain said she didn’t know he owned the company until after she signed. “I’m not Googling CEOs when I’m eating a candy bar,” she said. “I was unemployed and it was a pandemic. I didn’t have the option to turn down money.”)

 

The two are unlikely to end up more intertwined. “He sent some music — God, I hope he doesn’t blacklist me for saying this — but he showed me some demos and was trying to do some stuff in his studio,” Cain said. “I was like, yeah, boss man, sure!”

 

“I went in the booth and I did some stuff,” she recalled. “He was like, simplify it, simplify it, stop doing so much embellishment! But I was doing the stuff that makes my music my music. He was like, make it catchier! And I was like, OK, this sucks. This is not going to work.”

 

Cain paused, considering her words. “Creatively, I have no need for him,” she said. “But I have no need for anyone.”

I agree that there's some Springsteen in here. However I really can't help but notice the definite Lana influence throughout the whole record too. It's just so reminiscent of Ultraviolence.:jonny:

 

I don't think I've clicked with a new artist this hard since Lana a decade ago.

My first thoughts when I heard Televangelism and A House In Nebraska were that she was out Nicole Dollanganger-ing Nicole Dollanganger :fan: speaking of which I think AHIN is getting quite underrated.

Having said that, everyone loving this album needs to listen to Natural Born Losers expeditiously :giraffe:

This album HOLY ******* **** LIKE HOW EVEN IS IT POSSIBLE TO CONCEIVE SOMETHING SO INCREDIBLE

 

This is 100% AOTY as of now, possible a top 10 of the decade :deadbanana4: only song that I still need to grow on me is Western Nights

 

My favs off first listen are the singles (perfect choices), both Family Trees, Thoroughfare and the absolute collapse that is Ptolomaea… legitimately an out of body experience

 

This is one of the best produced albums I’ve ever heard

I’ve never heard of her before. I saw the cover while browsing Apple Music and was intrigued. 
 

so far I’m on track 2 and I love it.
