Ethel Cain has released another song from her upcoming sophomore album.
A six-minute synth-laced ballad, Fuck Me Eyes combines elements of dreamy shoegaze with a mid-tempo groove while building to an emotional crescendo. It marks the second preview of 'Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You', due out on August 8. Cain said:
"Continuing in the theme of high school anxieties, Fuck Me Eyes (on top of being an homage to one of my favorite pop songs of all time, Bette Davis Eyes) is meant to be an ode to the girls who are perfect and have everything, yet carry the reputation of town slut.
"The beautiful blonde who is just lonely and wants to be loved, that all the adults condemn to each other, who ultimately is the girl everyone simultaneously can’t stand and wants to be. I wrote the beginning of this song five years ago, making it the oldest demo for the record. As the story became more fleshed out, I realized it had a more relevant place on the album than I originally thought. This song represents Ethel’s complicated feelings for the girl she’s convinced has caught her crush’s eye, as well as her 16-year-old thoughts on the matter."
Florida-born artist Hayden Anhedönia previously teased the follow-up to 'Perverts' with the eight-minute Americana ballad Nettles.
She'll support the LP with her previously scheduled Willoughby Tucker Forever Tour, which will head across North America between mid-August and late September, and Europe in October and November. Tickets are on sale now.
