Ethel Cain has shared her new song “American Teenager,” which is her latest from her forthcoming debut album Preacher’s Daughter. She’s also announced a tour, which includes her performance at this year’s Pitchfork Music Festival. Find those dates and listen to the new song below.
“Growing up I was surrounded by visions of NASCAR, rock’n’roll, and being the one who would change everything,” Cain said in a statement. “They make you think it’s all achievable and that if nothing else, you should at least die trying. What they don’t tell you is that you need your neighbor more than your country needs you. I wrote this song as an expression of my frustration with all the things the ‘American Teenager’ is supposed to be but never had any real chance of becoming.”
Preacher’s Daughter is out May 12. The album, which also features “Strangers” and “Gibson Girl,” follows Cain’s 2021 Inbred EP. Read the interview “Ethel Cain Fears No Darkness.”
