Description
The wildly, diverse sounds made by Eartheater, AKA Alexandra Drewchin, defy most traditional definitions of music. Folding in bits of hip-hop, noise, spoken word, krautrock, pop and more, her music avoids genre. Her improvisational live performances, which often feature her contorting and writhing on stage, further attest to her eccentric dynamism. She was raised on a rural farm in New York in a strict Eastern Orthodox Christian sect. Taking to music at a young age, it wasn’t until her late teens that she indulged her more adventurous creative impulses, and her discovery of noise and experimental music served as a major inspiration. After time spent in the avant-garde outfit Guardian Alien, Drewchin has focused on shaping her personal vision as Eartheater — her debut LP, _Metalepsis_, was followed just a few months later with another album, _RIP Chrysalis_, both of which showed her embrace of conventional folk elements and the digital discord of the modern world.
