Preacher’s Daughter

Preacher's Daughter is the debut studio album by the American singer-songwriter and record producer Ethel Cain. It was released on May 12, 2022, through her independent record label Daughters of Cain. The album was entirely written and produced by Cain, with assistance from Steven Mark Colyer and Matthew Tomasi on certain tracks. Preacher's Daughter is a concept album with a narrative that centers on fictional characters, exploring themes such as family trauma and sexual violence. It was inspired by the artist's personal life as the daughter of a deacon. Sonically, it experiments with Americana, dark ambient, roots rock, and elements of several other genres. Cain openly shared that she was inspired by the artist Florence Welch throughout her music career and her vocal performance on the album. Fans suggested that she and Lana Del Rey share similar visual aesthetic and music production, along with similar Americana themes told through flawed female characters; with Cain having the raw and violent Americana and Rey having the glamorized and romanticized gothic Americana. Cain's work incorporates predominant Southern Gothic imagery with religious and American aesthetics.
