Eartheater has an extravagantly titled new album on the way: Heavenly Body: If I’m the Bottle You’re the Message. With the news comes a single, “Paradise Rains,” and dates for a string of shows in Los Angeles and New York. Scroll down to check those out, and definitely scroll down to see the characteristically striking album cover, shot by Tre Koch. The album arrives July 14 via Chemical X.
Alexandra Drewchin’s last Eartheater album was the more modestly titled Powders. (Before that? Phoenix: Flames Are Dew Upon My Skin.) Drewchin started work on the record soon after the birth of her daughter, eventually enlisting TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek to co-produce and fellow new parent Oklou to guest on “Fast Asleep.” Closing track “Nova,” named after Drewchin’s newborn, is co-produced with Nosaj Thing and Michael Andrews—the very same Michael Andrews who collaborated with Gary Jules on the “Mad World” cover featured in Donnie Darko.
“Paradise Rains,” Drewchin said in a press release, 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.”
