Jan 31, 2025It’s a haunting, stunning final result, and one of the boldest releases the scene has seen in years.
-
Jan 10, 2025Its passion, its production, and Anhedönia’s carefully chosen collaborators elevate it from merely an expectation-confounding volte-face to something far greater: a musical assemblage of integrity and bravery, a new benchmark, and the epitome of a no-skip album.

Jan 9, 2025Although Cain is clearly pushing away one type of fan, this album is destined to bind others more closely to her. While I can’t work out when I’d choose to listen to it again, Perverts is distressingly exquisite. Repeated plays guarantee sonic Stockholm syndrome.

Jan 8, 2025Whether you’re feeling unnerved or oddly comforted, Perverts is an album that, in its all its strange and cryptic ways, demands you feel something.
