Mondays (ft. Chloe Hotline)Ethel Cain

Ethel Cain – Mondays (ft. Chloe Hotline) Lyrics

Ethel Cain, a singer-songwriter from the United States with a singular artistic vision.

Among the works she created with Chloe Hotline is one that portrays the gloom of Monday from a shocking angle.

Released in April 2021, this piece is said to have been inspired by words spoken by the perpetrator of an incident that occurred in 1979.

Rather than mere lethargy, it swirls with uncontrollable anger and tangled emotions, carried on a blend of dream pop and slowcore.

The helplessness of being buffeted by traditional lies and violence may be something your heart recognizes, too.

On a hopelessly depressing Monday, it might be worth surrendering yourself to this dark world on purpose.
