I’m writing this story with Siri’s voice-to-text, so apologies in advance. I just can’t type with my body, though, because every single pore on my skin is so tantalized by the exquisite news that Eartheater is sharing her new album, titled IRISIRI, on the illustrious PAN this coming June. Looks like my phone will have to do the hard work for me. How prescient.
And I’m even MORE excited because you can hear the first single from that record right now! The song is called “C.L.I.T.” I’m told this is an acronym for “Curiosity Liberates Infinite Truth.” Following last week’s video for “Claustra,” this song is guaranteed to actually be on the album. The audial foreplay has finally begun! Woohoo!
Eartheater, the oneric project of Alexandra dreary chin…sorry that’s not right, Siri. Alexandra Drew chicken. Damn it! Alexandra DREWCHIN — there we go! — was responsible for one of our favorite albums of 2015, the singular RIP Chrysalis. Drewchin uses a combination of syncopated electronic rhythms, a three-octave titular voice, and hyper-evocative poetry to tell stories of genderific horror from inside a technology-attached world. “C.L.I.T.” is no exception, pushing her music to a new heightened state of astute domination. It’s very Drewchin — and very PAN. What’s not to love? (Answer: absolutely nothing.)
IRISIRI, a clever palindrome from the wordplay master herself, arrives June 8 and features additions from Odwalla1221 and Moor Mother, as well as mastering from Rashad Becker (of course). You can check out its first authentic single, album art, and tracklisting below. Now get the hell off your phone and rejoice!
