Eartheater will release Phoenix: Flames Are Dew Upon My Skin, her fifth album, on PAN.

Eartheater composed and workshopped most of Phoenix: Flames Are Dew Upon My Skin over a 10-week artist residency for FUGA in Zaragoza, Spain, housed in a sprawling glass facility that looked out over the mountains. Her newfound sense of isolation ultimately became liberating, leading her to sidestep the steady grids inherent to electronic music, and to conceive pieces rooted in guitar music and her desire to perform live with other players.

We’re told that the album “recontextualizes Eartheater’s combinatorial approach to production within her most direct and anthemic songs to date.” From the guitar parts and the orchestral string arrangements, to the harp and violin lines performed by Marilu Donovan and Adam Markiewicz of LEYA, the applications of acoustic instruments bring an “extraordinary emotional emphasis to her compositions,” the label tells XLR8R.

Phoenix: Flames Are Dew Upon My Skin is Eartheater’s first solo album for PAN since 2018’s IRISIRI. Last year, she released a collaborative EP with LEYA, titled Angel Lust, on PAN. She also self-released her Trinity mixtape via her own label, Chemical X.
