A House In Nebraska” switches up the soundscape again with a drawling reminiscence of fonder times enacted through lengthy dissipations of piano and mild distortion. These are draped against emotive melodies – the kind of melodies that Cain excels at from start to finish on Preacher’s Daughter, even providing more jarring lyrics with an undeniable appeal and memorability. At its core, “A House In Nebraska” depicts a wistful longing that is juxtaposed by the ethereal ballad of “Western Nights”. Ptolemaea” alters styles yet again, veering towards a combination of gothic grunge and chamber music that ensures we are kept attentively on our toes throughout this profound display of musical dynamism. It’s also another thoughtfully named song, titled after a portion of the last circle of hell referenced in Dante‘s renowned Inferno. Despite the stylistic deviation, it possesses the same energy that Cain agonisingly employs across Preacher’s Daughter, alongside what is now a recognisable sense of writhing, impassioned lyrical delivery that signals its thunderous, unnerving climax with a blood-curdling scream.

Preacher's Daughter documents the life of Ethel and her relationship with a lover. In " A House in Nebraska" she talks about how she misses her lover and how she is remembering all the times they shared. In " Hard Times" she talks about an abusive relationship with her dad, and also her feelings to him after that. " Ptolemaea" is the climax of the album, with lots of religious themes and haunting voices, as if Ethel is hallucinating. The name Ptolomaea references the Ninth Circle in Dante's Inferno which is for betrayers. " August Underground" is an instrumental and sets the mood for when she dies trying to escape Isaiah, the song is also a reference to the Snuff Film August Underground. This album is supposed to summarize her life after her father died 10 years prior to the album. Hatfield, Amanda (17 March 2022).

It’s pretty much just a classic American tale. A common theme that I like to write about is intergenerational trauma. Things that have been passed down through generations and how your parents’ or your grandparents’ actions can affect you. It’s very much about this lineage of women and how all their lives interconnect. Each album focuses on a different woman. I want to explore how your actions affect others and the relationship between a mother and her child and how things come full circle." [5]
