Ethel Cain
Ethel Cain is the creation of Florida-born multidisciplinary artist Hayden Anhedönia. After years spent teaching herself to produce at home in the Florida panhandle and releasing various projects, Cain moved to Indiana and singlehandedly wrote, produced, recorded and mixed her acclaimed 2021 EP Inbred from the basement of the old church where she lived. After returning to the South, this time to Alabama, Cain’s groundbreaking debut album Preacher’s Daughter was released in May 2022. A multimedia work that took more than four years to assemble, the record was met with praise from The New York Times, NPR, Vogue, W Magazine, V Magazine and more, with many critics naming the album one of the best of the year.
Perverts, Cain’s first body of work since releasing her debut album, was conceived in Coraopolis, PA and completed in Tallahassee, FL. The project was released in January 2025 and explores Cain’s furthest afield inspirations and sonic negative space, mining drone, noise, slowcore, ambient and beyond. Written, produced, recorded and mixed entirely by Cain, this pivotal project received critical acclaim for its challenging sonic landscape and unflinching production style, expanding the borders of the Ethel Cain world as it previously stood.
