Alexandra Drewchin, the New York artist and sound-sculptor who records as Eartheater, is an ambitious solo artist, and she's also a versatile collaborator. In the time since she released her last album, 2023's Powders, Eartheater covered System Of A Down and worked with artists like FKA twigs, Shygirl, and John Glacier. She also had a baby, which is kind of the ultimate artistic collaboration, and that experience informed her work on her upcoming LP Heavenly Body: If I'm The Bottle You're The Message.
Eartheater started recording Heavenly Body three months after the birth of her daughter Nova, now ten months old. The album explores the feelings of pregnancy and motherhood. Eartheater co-produced almost every track with TV On The Radio's David Andrew Sitek — all except closing track "Nova," which she co-produced with Nosaj Thing and Donnie Darko film-score composer Michael Andrews. Fellow new mother Oklou guests on "Fast Asleep." Lead single "Paradise Rains" is an awestruck orchestral track that was inspired by an emotional homecoming. Here's what Eartheater says about it:
"Paradise Rains" is a song about buying back my childhood farm after being estranged from it for 20 years. I conceived my baby the day we first stepped back on the property. So many memories, good and bad, were resuscitated being back, and calloused tensions dissolved and got washed away by the showers of deep love with my new little family.
That's lovely! Below, check out "Paradise Rains," the Heavenly Body tracklist, and Eartheater's upcoming live shows.
