I've long struggled with my identity in pop': Ethel Cain on fandom, first loves, and being inspired by David Lynch
Briefly

In January, Hayden Anhedonia, known as Ethel Cain, faced legal troubles that prevented her from traveling to Toronto to finish her album Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You. Instead, her collaborator Matthew Tomasi came to Tallahassee, and they worked together in her home studio while watching Twin Peaks. Anhedonia incorporated sounds reminiscent of the show's composer. She completed the show shortly before David Lynch passed away, which she felt was a significant connection. Her work echoes their themes, depicting a love story overshadowed by external pressures.
Anhedonia describes her upcoming album Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You as a deeply traumatized love story between two kids who are in love, but the world weighs on them.
Lynch's work stages epic battles between darkness and light, pitting the purity of the individual against the corruption of the world; small-town life versus primordial forces of evil.
