Ethel Cain
Ethel Cain may not be a real person, but she does want to be loved. The music alter ego of songstress Hayden Anhedönia, and fictional protagonist of her grizzly, sun-bleached debut Preacher’s Daughter, Cain’s barefoot Bible Belt persona is soundtracked by textured Southern goth rock and a palpable naivete when it comes to love. In latest project Willoughby Tucker, I Will Always Love You, the singer picks wilting flower petals. Set to slowcore with splashes of synth-pop (“Fuck Me Eyes”) and folk (“Nettles”), the singer’s tale of adolescent romance and loss drones like suburban streetlights on a humid summer night. – Miranda Garza
