May 20, 2022Her debut album is a true epic masterpiece. A good mix of dreamy, ethereal songs, catchy rock music and mysterious, dark themes. Her voice is unique and stunning. Songs like 'A House In Nebraska' and 'Hard Times' easily manage to touch you deeply.

May 19, 2022one of my favourite albums of the year. i have been obsessed with it since it came out and have not shut up about it. the storyline is unbelievably clever and the lyrics make it so perfect. ethel cain is a genius character and this album is perfect.

Aug 13, 2022A fantastic debut album. Each song will keep you on the edge of your sit with its clever storyline and fantastic vocals that make you so immersed. I can't wait for what miss Hayden will bring to the table!!

Apr 10, 2023I think even though i find the production on this album a little bland at times, Preacher's Daughter is a unique and powerful debut album with an amazing storyline. Personal favorites are American Teenager, A House In Nebraska, Gibson Girl, Ptolemaea & Strangers.

Aug 2, 2023With the first 3 tracks the album starts very promising but then, somehow it can get a little boring in the middle which makes you not pay enough attention to the final tracks. Still I think that Ethel is a very promising artist in the alternative music world.
-
Jul 17, 2022This album is simply stale, boring, uninspiring, uninteresting and unappealing.
-
Jul 14, 2023this album is amazing. hayden, (which is ethel cain’s real name) has ability to write a story like no other. it is even more impressive that most of these songs are self written and self produced. in this gargantuan album, spanning 75 minutes in 13 tracks, is hard to describe in words.

May 19, 2022With more questions raised than answered, Cain’s unusually ambitious and fully-realised debut somehow leaves listeners craving more in spite of its wonderful, exhausting, 75 minute runtime.
-
May 18, 2022Ethel Cain's debut album is an astonishing accomplishment; one that is as painful as it is constantly bathing in the most beautifully dreamy arrangements. Every moment serves to enhance the conveying of the record's story, and refuses to shy away from the unconventional, intense, or drawn out.
-
May 18, 2022By the end it's impossible to ignore the fact that this is a long record with flagging momentum. But it's also impossible to ignore this intriguing debut's promise. Preacher's Daughter has lyrical richness and atmospheric potency to spare.
