Florida-born multidisciplinary artist Hayden Anhedonia serves as the architect behind the world of Ethel Cain. After years of releasing various projects at home in the panhandle while teaching herself to produce, she moved to Indiana and singlehandedly wrote, produced and mixed her EP Inbred from the basement of the old church she lived in. Inbred was released in 2021 receiving critical acclaim from Pitchfork, Paper Mag, TheFADER, Billboard, NYLON, Vice, The Line Of Best Fit, and Vanity Fair France.
Following over four years of meticulously constructing her debut album and the graphic visuals that accompanies it, Preacher’s Daughter, was released in May 2022 catching the eyes of The New York Times, Vogue, NPR, W Magazine, V Magazine, Givenchy, Miu Miu and Calvin Klein. Cain then embarked on her first ever headline tour playing sold out shows across the US, Canada and Europe, walking in New York & Paris Fashion week, and closing out the year opening for Florence + the Machine in Denver, which led to the wide release of their live duet performance of “Morning Elvis.”
Cain continued to tour around the world in 2023 including performances at Coachella, Outside Lands, Reading & Leeds, Roskilde, Rock en Seine, among many other festivals and headline shows in the US, Mexico, Australia, and Europe. Cain will play a very select number of special shows in 2024 while working on new music.
