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.[8] 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."[9]
Irisiri (June 2018) was released on Berlin-based PAN.[10] Andrew Ryce of Resident Advisor described the album as "baffling and inspired in equal measure",[11] and Pitchfork named it one of "the best experimental albums of 2018".[12]
After contributing a new one-off track to a Doom Trip compilation in April,[13] Eartheater announced in August 2019 that she would release the mixtape Trinity in October 2019 via her own imprint, Chemical X.[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]
Her album Powders was released on September 20, 2023. To promote the album, Eartheater embarked on the Powders Tour[18] which included stops in festivals such as Coachella in California and Primavera Sound in Barcelona.[citation needed]
Collaborations
In addition to her solo work, Eartheater has collaborated with artists like Show Me the Body and Moor Mother.[19]
In 2019, Eartheater and the experimental duo LEYA released the Angel Lust EP together. They had previously collaborated on the track "666" off the duo's 2018 album The Fool.[20]
She also contributed guitar on the 2019 Caroline Polachek single "Ocean of Tears"[21] 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.[22]
In November 2022, Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon released her debut EP Go, executively produced by Eartheater, under the moniker Lolahol via Chemical X.[23] The same year, Eartheater and the American producer LSDXOXO released the song "Demons".[24]
In 2025, she enlisted British singer and DJ Shygirl for two of her songs, "Shark Brain" and "Dolphin".[25] In the same year, she was also credited as a producer for FKA Twigs' album Eusexua[26] and performed background vocals for its title track.[27] She was also featured in the alternate version of "Striptease"[28] from the reissue of Twigs' album.[29][30]
