On November 17, Water From Your Eyes will release Crushed By Everyone, a song-by-song rework of the duo’s critically-adored Matador debut, Everyone’s Crushed.
Curated by band members Rachel Brown and Nate Amos, the album dips heavily into WFYE’s personal rolodex with contributions that map the group’s rapidly expanding community – friends, tourmates, and peers. It’s the rare “remix” record where everybody has met in person (or at least shared some DMs).
Today, you can hear four tracks including Mandy, Indiana’s spaced-out deconstruction of “Remember Not My Name,” Sword II’s electro-tinged pass at “Open,” and fantasy of a broken heart’s chopped and spliced take on “Buy My Product.” This batch also finds Water From Your Eyes reinterpreting themselves, with Nate dialing Nu Metal grind and microtonal drone into an undeniably epic update on “Barley.” Listen HERE.
