"Religion ... for all its flaws, is in its purest form meant to provide a grounding place for that whole life, an occasional reminder of what you believe that can sustain that germ of conviction throughout the monotony of living," writes Kelsey McKinney, a pastor's daughter who has lost her faith, just like singer Ethel Cain. For Defector, McKinney reviews Cain's new album, "Perverts," a followup to 2022's "Preacher's Daughter," and muses on religion. "Without faith through religion, you think you lose the divine, that you've been rejected from salvation and with it beauty—at least at first. But slowly it opens up before you — the music, your life, the world — and you realize that all of this pain, all of this awful, ceaseless droning, can be used to build something else."
