In a couple weeks, Ethel Cain is releasing her proper debut album, Preacher’s Daughter. She’s shared “Gibson Girl” and “Strangers” from it so far and today she’s back with another new single, the bashing and anthemic “American Teenager.”
“Growing up I was surrounded by visions of Nascar, rock’n’roll, and being the one who would change everything,” she 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.”
