Praise for Water From Your Eyes
“… the best, most carefully considered collection they’ve made to date” – NME
“The whole exercise is either absurd or brilliant, which might be the best summation yet of what makes Water From Your Eyes one of the most exciting bands out there right now” – Rolling Stone
“The songs on Everyone’s Crushed can be slippery, but there’s a lot of beauty to be found in the scatterbrained mayhem” – Stereogum ‘Album Of The Week’
“… a disorienting collage of endearing slacker pop, jarring electronica and kaleidoscopic world-building” – DIY
“These nine tracks blow apart recognisable song craft conventions, a bedrock the duo then rebuild upon in their own playful image” – Loud & Quiet
Today, Water From Your Eyes have released their new album and Matador / Remote Control debut Everyone’s Crushed.
Across the record’s nine tracks, Rachel Brown (they/them) and Nate Amos (he/him) find silliness and fatalism dancing in a frantic lockstep, using heart palpitating rhythms and absurdist, deadpan lyrics to convey stories of personal and societal unease. Described by Brown as Water From Your Eyes’ most collaborative record ever, it’s a swollen contusion of an album: experimental pop music that’s pretty and violent, raw and indelible.
The album was previewed with singles ‘Barley’ (“A playground chant reimagined by Sonic Youth” – New York Times) ‘True Life’ (“chugging and deformed” – Stereogum) and ‘14’ (“… a symphonic ballad that looks set to be the year’s most elliptical breakup song, with a timeless melody” – The Guardian). Both videos for ‘Barley’ and ‘14’ were directed by the band’s Rachel Brown.
The last few months have seen the duo document a failed attempt to get director John Wilson to make a music video for them, play a sold-out NYC residency in DIY venues, join Snail Mail on a US tour, and be filmed enthusiastically by Wayne Coyne side of stage at Shaky Knees festival.
