“Initially, I had rules set for Aftermath, my next album, but the songs on Powders unfolded in their own accord. I had absolutely no rules with Powders. The songs chose me—I didn’t choose them.”

—Eartheater on recording two albums simultaneously.[6]

Powders is the fifth studio album by American experimental musician Eartheater. It was released September 20, 2023, via Chemical X under exclusive license to Mad Decent.[7] It is a sister album to the upcoming album titled Aftermath, expected for release in 2024.[7]

It was supported by the singles "Pure Smile Snake Venom"[8] and "Chop Suey".[6] The former single and "Crushing" feature music videos directed by Daniel Sannwald and Andrew Thomas Huang, respectively.[9]
