Hayden Silas Anhedönia (born March 24, 1998), known professionally as Ethel Cain, is an American Singer-Songwriter from Tallahassee, Florida.Raised in Perry, Florida, she was raised in a Southern Baptist family and homeschooled for her entire life. She was introduced to music through her family's church, becoming involved in the church's choir and studying classical piano; she eventually left the church when she was 16.She started writing and recording her own music in the mid-2010s, and officially started the Ethel Cain project in 2019. In 2022, after several successful EP releases, she released her debut album Preacher's Daughter, which received critical acclaim and garnered her a cult following.Genre-wise, her music is considered a mix of Dream Pop, Singer-Songwriter, Ambient, Alternative Rock, and Slowcore. Thematically, her music deals with topics including intergenerational trauma, Domestic Abuse, drug addiction, poverty, death, and religious trauma. Her music is also notable for its use of "Ethel Cain" as a character separate from Hayden Anhedönia, especially on Preacher's Daughter, a Concept Album for which Ethel serves as the protagonist.Discography Carpet Bed (EP) (2019) Golden Age (EP) (2019) Inbred (EP) (2021) Preacher's Daughter (2022) And I still call home, those tropes in Nebraska:

Unreliable Narrator
 Ethel Cain (Music) / int_1869b4b1
comment
Unreliable Narrator: Invoked with "Thoroughfare." The song revolves around Ethel describing how she met, traveled the west with, and fell in love with Isaiah, while related source material reveals that Isaiah had forcefully kidnapped her from the start and kept her drugged during their travels. "Gibson Girl" follows this up with Ethel embracing the role of the seductress, when in reality, Isaiah is pimping her out and it's a coping mechanism for the scenario that she's trapped in.

comment
Trans Tribulations: Subtextually. Part of why her music delves into themes of religious trauma and a love-hate relationship with Deep South culture is due to her experience being ostracized by her community when she came out as transgender.

One-Woman Wail: "August Underground" consists of Ethel vocalizing over an intense, haunting track. Fitting, given it's the track corresponding to Ethel being murdered by Isaiah.

All Girls Want Bad Boys: A theme in many of Ethel's songs is of being in love/obsessed with boys of nefarious character that includes differing levels of Domestic Abuse. Preacher's Daughter in particular has Logan, Isaiah, and (to a much lesser extent) Willoughby.
