Alexandra Drewchin (Russian: Александра Дрючин; Russian romanization: Aleksandra Dryuchin), known professionally as Eartheater, is an American multi-instrumentalist, producer, composer and vocalist. Born in Pennsylvania to a Russian father and an English mother, [4] she is currently based in Queens and has been performing since 2009. [5] Her music has been released on independent labels Hausu Mountain and PAN. [6]
Eartheater has released five full-length solo albums and one mixtape. Metalepsis (March 2015) and RIP Chrysalis (November 2015) were released on the Chicago-based label Hausu Mountain. [7] Reviewing her first album, Colin Joyce of Pitchfork noted that "Metalepsis is music that's built to overwhelm and envelop you, and maybe even, as Drewchin's moniker suggests, swallow worlds whole." [8]
Irisiri (June 2018) was released on Berlin-based PAN. [9] Andrew Ryce of Resident Advisor described the album as "baffling and inspired in equal measure", [10] and Pitchfork named it one of "the best experimental albums of 2018." [11]
After contributing a new one-off track to a Doom Trip compilation in April, [12] Eartheater announced in August 2019 that she would release the mixtape Trinity in October 2019 via her own imprint, Chemical X. [13] In December of the same year, she released a collaborative EP with LEYA titled Angel Lust for PAN. [14]
In May 2020, Eartheater shared the single "Below the Clavicle", [15] which was later included on her fourth album, Phoenix: Flames Are Dew Upon My Skin, released through PAN on October 2, 2020. [16] The album was mostly created over a ten-week artist residency in Zaragoza, Spain, drawing inspiration from the Earth's geology. [17]
In addition to her solo work, Eartheater has collaborated with artists like Show Me the Body and Moor Mother. [18] She also contributed guitar on the 2019 Caroline Polachek single "Ocean of Tears" [19] and has covered Mazzy Star's Fade into You with Sega Bodega on Reestablishing Connection, a cover project benefiting the AIM COVID-19 Crisis Fund. [20] In November 2022, Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon released her debut EP Go, executively produced by Eartheater, under the moniker Lolahol via Chemical X. [21] Her album Powders was released on September 20, 2023. A sister album to it, named "Aftermath" will be released someday in 2024, or after all her vinyls sell, then she said she'll release "Aftermath."
