They're both definitely distinct but I feel like perhaps North by Clairo or Tile by Tile by Alvvays give me similar vibes. I'm not super familiar with Ethel Cain but she seems to be more folk-leaning than these two. Maybe try Faye Webster?

An artist I always like to recommend is Molly Drake (Nick Drake's mom) who wrote some incredibly unique music, all home recorded in the 60s. I like to say it sounds like Mary Poppins on anti-depressants.
Then maybe Tucker Zimmerman? Singersongeriter active since the 60s who just released a new album made in collaboration with Big Thief.
If you wanna try recent things, I find Allegra Krieger and Naima Bock two awesome singer songwriters

Even if you end up having to go somewhere else, there still will be culture to get involved in, people to meet, things to learn, realizations to be made. All of that is still right there for you and it will be open in a way you won't even realize until you've done like a year or two. So it's truly still exciting times. As long as you feel generally good about the place you ultimately choose, your time is coming.

Hidden in a neighborhood in a building designed by Ando, lots of rotating exhibitions often involving queer art and history, digital art, and bigger art and architecture retrospectives. Prob as close to a secret big art space as you can get in Chicago.
