Ethel Cain Announces New Album Perverts

For a few years now, fans have clamored to the hope that Ethel Cain’s sophomore album would arrive. Preacher’s Daughter, her spellbinding debut that we just named one of the best albums of the 2020s so far, came out in May 2022 and turned Cain into one of the biggest indie musicians in the world.

“Preacher’s Daughter possess a weightiness and impulse away from ironic glamorization of the American dream and toward outright criticism that render the comparison only so relevant,” Paste contributor Devon Chodzin wrote. “At times the record throbs with a noisy, immersive intensity before transitioning into the kind of epic guitar solos that decorated the cult of rock personalities in generations past. This collision of dark ambient and Def Leppard is uniquely American in the best way conceivable.”
