EARTHEATER
territory ︎︎︎ ITALY | agent: jacopo@hangarbooking.com
Eartheater (aka Queens based artist Alexandra Drewchin) distills foley-filled digital
production, a three-octave vocal range, and classical composition into works suspended
between obsessively detailed sonic tapestries and almost recklessly romantic and gestural
electronica. A body of viscerally emotive live performance stands alongside her recorded
output, realized by her fearless physical investment and gut-wrenching vocal sincerity. Drewchin explore incendiary subjects like alternate realities strung in the vastness of infinity, the isometrisity of time and space, the ambiguity of words, moral surreality, the evolution of sexuality in a digital age, and the nature of the mother board.
After two albums on Hausu Mountain - ‘Metalepsis’ and ‘RIP Chrysalis’ - in 2018 she signed with PAN, the Berlin cult label, for the third full-length ‘IRSIS’. Eartheater’s new work lays out a shifting network of abstract song craft, laced with sudden structural upheavals and collisions of mutated tropes from numerous sonic vocabularies. In 2020 released a new record via PAN, ‘Phoenix: Flames Are Dew Upon My Skin’ that draws a path back to the primordial lava lake from which she first emerged, as it also testifies to the reincarnating resurrections the project has undergone over its first full decade of existence. While the album renews her focus on guitar performance and legible structure, Eartheater balances the unabashed prettiness of acoustic harmonic songs with the dissonant gestural embroidery of oblique instrumentals. Having fallen back in love with the idioms that first captivated her, she worked to crack open the techniques that had fossilized inside of her, while still seeking to apply the electro-alchemical knowledge she picked up along her journey. The result of a laborious revival in fire, Phoenix recontextualizes Eartheater’s combinatorial approach to production within her most confident abstractions, adjacent to some of her most direct songs to date.
Eartheater is now sharing a fully reworked version of the album, ‘Phoenix: La Petite Mort Édition’, out on PAN. Originally conceived as a “sleep” mix for CRACK Magazine, Eartheater re-sculpted her entire album Phoenix into a seamless ambient edit.
