Ethel Cain Biography
Ethel Cain is the stage name of singer-songwriter, producer, and model Hayden Silas Anhedönia. Her music combines indie rock, gothic folk, slowcore, and Americana, shaped by cinematic storytelling and a Southern Gothic sensibility. Her breakthrough album, Preacher's Daughter (2022), earned critical praise and was named among the year's best by outlets including Pitchfork, Paste, and Dazed.
The 2025 album Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You is a narrative prequel to Preacher's Daughter. Its singles include “Nettles” and “Fuck Me Eyes,” while the earlier album features “American Teenager,” “Gibson Girl,” and “Strangers.” The tour's expected material draws from both records, though setlists can vary by night. Cain's performances are known for theatrical, atmospheric presentation that places the songs' stories at the center.
