Spreading curiosity and a sense of wonder through music, Hannah Smith, better known as Eitch (pronounced “H”) is anything but ordinary and neither is her own taste in music. Her favorite composition: String Quartet in G Minor, Op.10: 3. While other Musical Influences include Radiohead, Ghostland Observatory, Jonatha Brooke, and Pinback. Yet, while this amazingly talented young woman loves other peoples music Eitch is not interested in becoming “the next” anything. Instead her work is as unique as her name, and she is completely focused on creating original work that both inspires, and nourishes the mind & spirit, body and soul.
Obsessed with the notion that not everything is as it seems, Eitch uses her lyrics as a vehicle to tell a story through her work which is both of human nature and otherworldly origin. In a sense her music is out of this world because there seems to be no earthly reason why this young woman would have so much talent.In 2010, Eitch released her debut album “Everything, Nothing”, a collection of work she began recording in 2006. Often compared to the likes of The Knife, Bjork, and Coco Rosie, Eitch has carved a lane all for herself by Producing and programming 100% of her music, and mapping out intricate Vocal arrangements to complement the free form of her instrumentals. Currently, Eitch who has recently left New York, the city she loves, and moved to San Francisco is busy working on her next release “Health”, a 4-track EP which will be available over the next 5-6 weeks. For the project she’s asked 4 artists to visually interpret each song to have four unique bodies of work representing the cover art. It’s a project she’s really pleased with, and can’t wait to share with the world! Based on early reviews most people can’t get enough of it. Eitch has chosen to share the stage with genre-bending producer and DJ, Ian Stewart. Together they showcase a theatrically charged performance of alternative, electronic, and pop — or what they’ve playfully coined as “Altronipop” — and provide people with an enchanting template to self reflect. Imagine a mental mirror using music to see and contemplate yourself and this is what they offer.
Soon you can experience the dynamic partnership’s work live as they will be performing at several summer music festivals, including Wakarusa May 30th – June 2nd.
