    This album is simply stale, boring, uninspiring, uninteresting and unappealing.

    this 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.

    With 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.

    Ethel 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.

    By 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.
