Ethel cain’s Preacher’s Daughter and the case for concept albums
album review by Sonia Suben
On a blind listen, Ethel Cain’s debut album Preacher’s Daughter is a masterpiece amalgamation of gothic folk-rock and ethereal slowcore, Americana motifs, and the intensity of Evangelist gospel music. There is no denying the pleasure of listening to this album with no prior knowledge: the gorgeous, velvety voice and incredible vocal range of Ethel Cain (aka Hayden Silas Anhedönia) are all-encompassing while narrating Cain’s fraught journey from small-town Alabama, to Texas, across the Western US to the coast.
