Eartheater Announces New Album Heavenly Body: If I’m the Bottle You’re the Message

Eartheater has announced her new album, titled ‘Heavenly Body: If I’m the Bottle You’re the Message,’ which is scheduled to be released on July 14 via Chemical X. The announcement includes the release of a new single, ‘Paradise Rains,’ and a series of tour dates in Los Angeles, New York, and Europe.

The album, which follows her 2023 release ‘Powders,’ features collaborations with TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek and Oklou. The lead single, ‘Paradise Rains,’ was co-produced with Sitek and is inspired by Drewchin’s personal experience of reconnecting with her childhood farm after 20 years, coinciding with the birth of her daughter.

Drewchin explained that ‘Paradise Rains’ reflects her emotional journey of revisiting her past and the deep love she has for her family. The album cover, shot by Tre Koch, has already garnered attention for its striking visual style. The full tracklist includes 11 songs, among them ‘Eyes of a Dove,’ ‘Practical Amnesia,’ and ‘Fast Asleep,’ featuring Oklou.

Why It Matters

This announcement is significant as it marks a new chapter in Eartheater’s evolving musical career, blending personal themes with experimental soundscapes. The collaboration with notable producers and artists highlights her growing influence within the indie and experimental music scenes. The release and accompanying tour will likely attract both longtime fans and new listeners interested in her distinctive style.

Background

Following her 2023 album ‘Powders,’ Eartheater has been active in the music scene, collaborating with artists like Dave Sitek and Oklou. Her previous works, such as ‘Phoenix: Flames Are Dew Upon My Skin,’ established her reputation for blending experimental sounds with personal storytelling. The new album’s themes of reconnecting with her roots and motherhood continue her tradition of introspective, boundary-pushing music.

“Paradise Rains is 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, that then dissolved and got washed away by the showers of deep love with my new little family.”

— Eartheater (Alexandra Drewchin)

“This album is a reflection of reconnecting with my past and embracing new beginnings, layered with collaborations that push the boundaries of my sound.”
