Eris Drew & Octo Octa's ALCHEMICAL SISTERS to Release Debut Album
The duo will make their debut performance at Interdimensional Transmissions' Samhain XXVI event.
Eris Drew and Octo Octa, performing together as Alchemical Sisters, will release their self-titled debut double album on Interdimensional Transmissions this October, timed to Interdimensional Transmissions' Samhain XXVI event. The release date is 18 October 2026.
Maya Bouldry-Morrison (Octo Octa) and Eris Drew, known for their all-vinyl b2b DJ sets, conceived Alchemical Sisters as a vehicle for creating music together. Alchemical Sisters describe themselves as 'psychedelic chaos, acid rollers, and big beat, channeled through hardware instruments and animated by love, touch, rhythm, and spiritual fire.'
The album marks the duo's debut recorded project together and coincides with their debut performance at Samhain XXVI.
Alchemical Sisters was recorded in the forests of New Hampshire by Maya and Eris and mixed by BMG in Detroit in the Interdimensional Laboratory on high end hardware.
In the cold winter months, Maya and Eris emptied the master bedroom of their forest cabin and sealed it as an alchemical retort—a hermetic vessel in which a higher form could emerge. For a year they slept on the studio floor while, in white nightgowns and under the spell of mushrooms, they brought dulcimers and ancestral instruments into communion with turntables, twentieth-century machines, and new technologies. Alchemical Sisters is the substance crystallized within that vessel by their secret fire.
They then brought their music to BMG in Detroit to meticulously mix their vision through hardware, in a high end studio environment. For two weeks at the height of winter, they shut out the world and focused on fusing their sonic vision within the Interdimensional Laboratory.
Setting up their computer and sound card, BMG processed their tracking sessions through a high end mixing console, using transformers and tubes and the special properties of many machines to create a solid visceral sound out of a dream, to create a powerful euphonic ecstatic experience from their highly personal highly evolved music, whose sources could be both carnal and celestial. It was important to have their music connect before thought, to feel both the power and the gentleness of their sound, to have the texture and presence of their myriad influences unconsciously affect you.
