Preacher's Daughter [Vinyl]

Ethel Cain - Preacher's Daughter [Vinyl]

The jaded daughter of a dead preacher-man caught in an exodus, Ethel Cain winds her way through a dizzying attempt at escape from her suffocating upbringing only to find herself crushed within its jaws in the end. Hayden Anhedönia, the woman behind the curtain, serves as the architect for the visceral and haunting world of Ethel Cain. After over four years of meticulously constructing her debut album and the graphic visual world that accompanies it, Preacher’s Daughter, was released in May 2022 to critical acclaim, catching fire with her reverent fanbase of daughters and the adoration of The New York Times, Vogue, NPR, Billboard, Vice, TheFADER, NYLON, Paper Magazine, Pitchfork, W Magazine, V Magazine and more.

Preacher's Daughter is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter and record producer Ethel Cain. It was released on May 12, 2022, via her own independent record label Daughters of Cain, which serves as an imprint of publishing company Prescription Songs. The album was entirely produced by Cain, with assistance from Matthew Tomasi on two tracks. Preacher's Daughter is a concept album that creates a narrative centered on fictional characters and inspired by the artist's personal life as the daughter of a deacon. It explores intense themes including family trauma and sexual violence. Sonically, it experiments with Americana, folk, ethereal wave, goth-pop, dark ambient, and elements of several other genres. The album was preceded by the release of three singles between March and April 2022: "Gibson Girl", "Strangers", and "American Teenager". Upon release, Preacher's Daughter was met with acclaim from music critics, with praise towards its storytelling and songwriting, and Cain's vocal performance. Many critics named it one of the best albums of the year. It has also gained a cult following. To promote the album, Cain embarked on her first two concert tours, the Freezer Bride Tour in 2022 and the Blood Stained Blonde Tour in 2023, through North America, Europe, and Oceania.
