Ethel Cain today releases her debut album Preacher’s Daughter, out now via Daughters of Cain. The album features the previously released singles “Gibson Girl”, “Strangers” and “American Teenager”, and unfolds the tale of Shady Grove’s devoted daughter.
Cain collaborated on Preacher’s Daughter with a number of talented multi-instrumentalists including Matthew Tomasi & Colyer, with Cain serving as producer and writer across every facet of the creation process for each record. It is an album of sweeping scope and hushed intimacy - a portrait of an unflinching and unwavering artist. With Preacher’s Daughter, Cain gifts to the world a new testament, one with members of a deeply flawed family plagued by human nature, and the Southern soil on which it all plays out.
Preacher’s Daughter is the age old tale of an American family who refuses to learn from history and is therefore doomed to repeat it. In this visceral and unflinching drama, mother forsakes daughter and daughter forsakes mother in a battle with no real villain and no real winner. Following the prodigal daughter who will never return home, Preacher’s Daughter captures Cain’s pilgrimage across a broken all-American backdrop as she grapples with each female archetype forced upon her, along with the realization that violence truly only begets violence.
