Today we catch up with Eartheater‘s extraordinary video for the track “Volcano,” directed by Rick Farin and Claire Cochran. The track is off the artist’s 2020 LP Phoenix: Flames Are Dew Upon My Skin (PAN), one of our favorite albums of last year. “Volcano” is a pure pop gem with rousing melody and wickedly honest lyrics. Soaring strings, strummed guitar, and crescendos of climbing piano notes all make for a highly charged atmosphere. Combined with the hard-won wisdom of Eartheater’s words, this is the kind of song that can see you through some tough times. Ripe for repeat listens, it has something new to offer on each return.
Those familiar with Eartheater know the artist is also a riveting performer. Combining athletic prowess with a fierce and indomitable style, her videos continue to amaze. “Volcano” composites warping imagery of the dancer against stunning backgrounds. The result is psychedelic and not soon forgotten.
