Ethel Cain

Ethel Cain is the enigmatic stage persona of Hayden Anhedönia, an emerging artist whose hauntingly atmospheric music defies easy categorization, weaving a sonic tapestry that blends elements of alternative rock, gothic Americana, and dream pop. Cain's evocative storytelling, underscored by her ethereal vocals and lush, moody soundscapes, explores themes of religion, heartache, and the American South's gothic underbelly.

Her discography, which includes standouts like "Preacher’s Daughter" and "American Teenager," has garnered attention for its raw emotionality and cinematic quality. Since her debut, Cain's sound has evolved to include a mix of confessional lyricism and a rich, genre-blending sonority. With her burgeoning collection of gripping tracks, such as "Inbred" and the cinematic "Gibson Girl," Ethel Cain has solidified her place as a stirring storyteller and a unique voice in the indie music scene. Noted releases like the "Carpet Bed EP" showcase her ability to shift from fragile vulnerability to brooding intensity, while collaborations like "Michelle Pfeiffer" (feat. lil aaron) reveal her versatility and willingness to experiment with her sound.
