Chaos Chaos
Many millennials were acquainted with the young, sister duo Smoosh as they took the early aughts indie-pop scene by storm when they supported prominent acts like Death Cab For Cutie, Pearl Jam, Sufjan Stevens and Sleater-Kinney. When the highly lauded Saavedra sisters (Asy and Chloe) escaped their teens, they also shed their childhood moniker giving their music the freedom to undergo its own evolution. Chaos Chaos’ EP Committed to the Crime was received with critical acclaim and was featured on Adult Swim’s hit show Rick and Morty. The sisters plan to release their first full length as Chaos Chaos early fall 2017, calling it “an ode to the fight we are in right now as 21st century women living in this 18th century dystopia.”

Eartheater is Alexandra Drewchin, a New York based musician, artist, and choreographer who seeks on a daily basis to provoke classical and pop paradigms. Also known for her unhinged performances fronting Guardian Alien, Eartheater is Drewchin’s unshackled solo vessel, a deliberate distillation of voice, synths, strings, and electronic production techniques into short-form compositions teeming with crystalline details.
October 2016 saw the release of her second album in the same year on Hausu Mountain, RIP Chrysalis. Flowing perfectly from her debut Metalepsis, RIP is a stunning up step. At any given moment, an Eartheater composition reads somewhere between a folk song, a musique concrète collage, and a filmic suite fit to soundtrack a cosmic montage that only she can imagine in full detail. Her intricate ballad arrangements rise from standing pools of hi-fidelity synthesis, while her dynamic vocal performances span an untold number of tactics and tonalities. Drewchin builds layered electronic productions possessed of enough detail to constitute stand-alone worlds, each weighted thick with text and texture.
Possessed of a free-associative structure spiked with experimentations with the drone, ambient, and noise traditions, Metalepsis unfolds as a singular curatorial effort with Drewchin’s voice and devilish compositional details as its gleaming focal points. Eartheater is Drewchin’s personal evolution: as a musical process at once tethered to advancing technologies and to the flashes of humanity that escape between the circuits.
