From a conservative religious upbringing in small-town Florida to inclusion on Barack Obama’s annual playlist, the acclaim for her debut album, the sprawling, country-tinged Preacher’s Daughter (2022) has established the 24-year-old as one of the hottest new talents of the moment. She made further waves by earlier this month walking for iconic fashion label Miu Miu – subsidiary of powerhouse Italian fashion label, Prada – at the 2023 Paris Fashion Week.
Ethel Cain is inspired by gospel, country, rock and her mother’s soundtrack of Gregorian chants, channelling her influences into her dark and dreamy breakthrough EPs Carpet Bed (2019), Golden Age (2019) and Inbred (2021) that saw her likened to an American Gothic version of Lana Del Rey. Driven by the deceptively poppy hit (and Obama fave) ‘American Teenager’, Cain’s debut Preacher’s Daughter confirmed the arrival of a major new star, its sprawling tales of God, murder and cannibalism wrapped in a haunting, bewitching dream.
Experience the unparalleled power that is Ethel Cain live when she makes her Australian debut this June.
