Press for ‘Phoenix: Flames Are Dew Upon My Skin’:
“It’s not just Eartheater’s best album—it casts new light on every previous one” - Bandcamp (Best of 2020)
"Her most assertive and intimate work to date" - Crack (Top 50 Albums of 2020)

Last year, Eartheater released her latest album, Phoenix: Flames Are Dew Upon My Skin, via PAN.
Eartheater is now sharing a fully reworked version of the album, Phoenix: La Petite Mort Édition, out February 26, 2021 on PAN. Originally conceived as a “sleep” mix for CRACK Magazine, Eartheater re-sculpted her entire album Phoenix into a seamless ambient edit.
Eartheater offered the following statement about the reworked album:
“This is Phoenix crushing, undressing, and compressing like carbon particles under the weight of boulders folded into silky soil, and decomposing. She is folding over and over and over and over like the rolls of young gummy stone. This is one REM cycle. I suggest listening to Phoenix: La Petite Mort Édition while asleep after climax. You are wet ash smudged across a pillow case.”
Phoenix: Flames Are Dew Upon My Skin, released in 2020, is Eartheater’s fourth full-length album. It follows 2019’s Trinity mixtape (self-released on her own imprint Chemical X) and her 2018 album IRISIRI (released on PAN).
More info:
Composed, produced, and arranged by Eartheater alone, Phoenix: Flames Are Dew Upon My Skin draws a path back to the primordial lava lake from which she first emerged, as it also testifies to the reincarnating resurrections the project has undergone over its first full decade of existence. While the album renews her focus on guitar performance and legible structure, Eartheater balances the unabashed prettiness of acoustic harmonic songs with the dissonant gestural embroidery of oblique instrumentals. Having fallen back in love with the idioms that first captivated her, she worked to crack open the techniques that had fossilized inside of her, while still seeking to apply the electro-alchemical knowledge she picked up along her journey. The result of a laborious revival in fire, Phoenix recontextualizes Eartheater’s combinatorial approach to production within her most confident abstractions, adjacent to some of her most direct songs to date.
