Downward Is Heavenward was recorded in 1997, and first released on January 27, 1998, by RCA Records. Some websites such as AllMusic list it as being a 1997 album rather than a 1998 album, presumably because all versions of the album bear a 1997 copyright date.

The title of the album appears as a lyric in "Afternoon with the Axolotls".

Despite selling fewer copies than its predecessor You'd Prefer an Astronaut, the album was critically acclaimed.

Downward Is Heavenward
Hum Lyrics

Afternoon With The Axolotls A bed of dead leves graced the ground a quick glance…
Apollo I'm thinking of a number between everything and two She said…
Comin' Home we're two points collapsing supercharged from the storm sun …
Dreamboat You swore the earth was round And you said that there…
Green to Me The morning image from the satellite is all blue and…
If You Are To Bloom I'm thinking of your wide open eyes Smiling as they feed…
Isle Of The Cheetah She's just along for the ride Wings melt and we hide All…
Ms. Lazarus I come to you all dressed in sound Bluebirds tripping wires…
The Inuit Promise I took a worn out strand of your cellophane hair…
The Scientists Electrified and lit up by an outline of herself Smiling now…
