“If Eartheater’s backstory sounds like something out of a fairy tale, then she is the story’s heroic, majestic beast, having spent her 10 years in the industry constantly moving between surrealist flights of fancy and references that are deeply rooted in the earth, both in sound and vision” - Vogue
“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)
"striking, fiery, impossible to ignore" - Bleep (Top 10 Albums of 2020)
“Eartheater's best album yet” - Resident Advisor
“a personal and artistic rebirth” - Pitchfork
Eartheater today shares the new official video for “Volcano,” the single from her 2020 album Phoenix: Flames Are Dew Upon My Skin, out on PAN. Watch here.
The video was directed by Actual Objects, a creative studio based in Los Angeles, and was shot at an inactive volcano in California. Actual Objects have shared the following statement regarding the video:
Volcano is a very special project to us — one we’ve been developing and working on with Eartheater for almost a year. We have been obsessed with her for many years, and were incredibly honored when she asked us to build a video for Volcano. The video has gone through multiple radically different versions, culminating in a magical shoot in California at an abandoned inactive volcano. Eartheater’s performance at the volcano was stunning — her power could be felt in the natural majesty of the location’s ancient ash and sparkling black sand. After editing the footage, we proceeded to project the video onto digital 3D scans of mountainous landscapes, as if we were watching the video from the sky. Volcano is a video about emotion physicalized — in rock and ash and atmosphere and in 0s and 1s.
“Volcano” follows Eartheater’s recent official video for “Faith Consuming Hope” directed by Elliot Power and premiered alongside an interview with Vogue.

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.
