Alexandra Drewchin (Russian: Александра Дрючин, romanized: Aleksandra Dryuchin; born March 16, 1989), known professionally as Eartheater, is an American multi-instrumentalist, producer, composer and vocalist. Born in Pennsylvania to a Russian father and a British mother, she has been performing since 2009, and is currently based in Queens, New York. Her music has been released on independent labels Hausu Mountain and PAN.
Career
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. 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."
Irisiri (June 2018) was released on Berlin-based PAN. Andrew Ryce of Resident Advisor described the album as "baffling and inspired in equal measure", and Pitchfork named it one of "the best experimental albums of 2018".
After contributing a new one-off track to a Doom Trip compilation in April, Eartheater announced in August 2019 that she would release the mixtape Trinity in October 2019 via her own imprint, Chemical X.
