WavyLand is proud to present Eartheater, the queen of the underworld making her debut on Australian and New Zealand shores. Crafting an ethereal branch of pop music, Eartheater finds herself just south of conventional as a sense of the sinister emerges. Visceral psychedelic worldbuilding is paired with its own apocalypse in alluring electro-pop that feels as sexual as it does destructive. And perhaps they’re not mutually exclusive.
Eartheater’s practice as a multi-instrumentalist, producer, composer, and fashion icon lends to her eclecticism. Her name feels cataclysmic, but is endearingly inspired by a young girl in Gabriel Garcia Márquez’s epic One Hundred Years of Solitude, who eats soil to quell her anxiety: nature and angst both prominent facets of her music. Eartheater’s voice is her most powerful instrument, flexible in its colour and octave range as it services dense synth scapes and rich harmonics. Indemnified in her latest offering, Phoenix: Flames Are Dew Upon My Skin is a testament to its own reincarnation, conceptualised over a full decade. Now though, Eartheater basks in pop revelry, her latest singles Scripture and Mitosis anthems for an immaterial world.
As compelling as she is challenging, Eartheater invites you to explore her world this winter. An intra- and extra-terrestrial artist with a unique practice, her music holds the listener in its palms with deliberate atmospheres of tension and ultimate release. To see Eartheater live is to see a shooting star: be careful what you wish for.
