Water From Your Eyes Share New Song & Video 'Nights In Armor'
'Water From Your Eyes haven't forgone dynamism and experimentation in the quest for hardcore power' – Pitchfork On Friday, Water From Your Eyes will release It's a Beautiful Place. The album is the duo's dizzying, chrome-tinted masterpiece, which Rolling Stone has christened 'their most joyously out there achievement yet.' Today, listen to the album's ebullient and expansive third single 'Nights in Armor' and watch the Jo Shaffer-directed video HERE. 'Nights In Armor started life as a weird little Lorelei song called 'Grill,'" explains WFYE's Nate Amos. 'I always felt like the riff was cooler than the song, so I recycled it into a new track and added other instrumentation specifically meant to place the guitar part in a radically different context to see what other emotional roles it could play. I remember struggling with writing a vocal hook I was happy with and I'm pretty sure at a certain part I reversed it and built the bass line around the backwards melody.' The band – now a four-piece on stage with Al Nardo (guitar) and Bailey Wollowitz (drums) – will support It's A Beautiful Place with extensive North American and European headline tours. In the time since 2023's Everyone's Crushed, their Matador debut and critical breakout – which appeared in end of year lists by The New York Times, The Guardian, Pitchfork, NME, Vogue, Wired and Rolling Stone – Rachel Brown (they/them) and Nate Amos (he/him) have become a pillar of the city's alternative music scene and one of its most revered underground exports. They played huge stages supporting Interpol on tour, including in front of 160,000 fans in Mexico City. Back home, the band established a DIY boat show franchise on the East River, hosting friends at the heart of the city's musical vanguard including YHWH Nailgun, Model/Actriz, Frost Children, and Kassie Krut. Brown released a new EP under their thanks for coming moniker, while Amos released an acclaimed full length under his This Is Lorelei solo project. The duo finished It's a Beautiful Place last summer, just as they have every other WFYE release: in Amos's bedroom, under the watchful eye of a tattered Robin Williams poster from the Mork & Mindy era. 'Basically,' jokes Amos, 'Robin is like a silent member of Water From Your Eyes.' The first single, 'Life Signs,' however, was shaped around the dynamics of a full-blooded live group: 'When you're playing with a band you tend to write with one in mind - this was the first time I wrote anything for WFYE imagining us playing anywhere bigger than a basement', he observes. 'Nights In Armor' is introduced with a whirlwind of Frusciante Stratocaster bliss. 'Born 2' is a worldbuilding guitar onslaught, its lyrics channeling a preoccupation with sci-fi literature and political theory as Brown's voice glides overhead: "the world is so common / and born to become / something else". 'I've been carrying around The Dispossessed (a 1974 anarchist utopian novel by Ursula K. Le Guin) and There Is No Unhappy Revolution (a 2017 non-fiction by Marcello Tarì) in my backpack for well over a year now,' Brown says. ' They have been to four different continents and across almost every state line. While writing lyrics for the album, I skimmed both books quite thoroughly.' Throughout It's A Beautiful Place is a clear sense of a band who have honed their curveballs into home runs. Looming and melancholy, wide-eyed and petrified, it's Blade Runner with a touch of WALL-E, it's Kubrick and Asimov with a hint of Jay and Silent Bob. These are songs that look outward, conscious of our smallness and questioning our place in the universe while admiring the surrounding beauty.

Water from Your Eyes Announce New Album It's a Beautiful Place, Reveal 2025 Tour Dates
The post Water from Your Eyes Announce New Album It's a Beautiful Place, Reveal 2025 Tour Dates appeared first on Consequence. Water from Your Eyes are back to announce a new album, It's a Beautiful Place, out on August 22nd via Matador. They've also confirmed a major 2025 North American tour set for this fall, and revealed the first single off It's a Beautiful Place: 'Life Signs.' The former CoSigns, comprised of songwriters Rachel Brown and Nate Amos, were inspired by turn-of-the-millennial sonics, outer space, existentialism, and writing for their newly-fitted live band on It's a Beautiful Place. 'It ended up being about time, dinosaurs and space,' Amos said of the new album in a press release. 'We wanted to present a wide range of styles in a way that acknowledges everything's just a tiny blip.' Get Water from Your Eyes Tickets Here They'll be supporting It's a Beautiful Place with a sprawling North American tour this fall, which kicks off in Philadelphia on September 22nd. They'll make their way through cities like Washington D.C., Atlanta, Nashville, Chicago, Montreal, New York, Austin, Los Angeles, Seattle, Vancouver, and many more; they'll conclude the run on November 7th in Denver before heading off to Europe. Her New Knife, Winter, and Dutch Interior will provide support throughout the trek. See their full list of tour dates below. Tickets for Water From Your Eyes' 2025 tour will first be available via an artist pre-sale beginning on Wednesday, June 4th at 12:00 p.m. local time; fans can sign up for pre-sale access to their desired show date(s) on Water From Your Eyes' official website.

Tickets go on-sale for the general public on Friday, June 6th at 10:00 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster as well as the band's official website. 'Life Signs' serves as the lead single for It's a Beautiful Place and it's a moody, guitar-forward introduction to the album's expansive sound. Cycling between slightly threatening and resigned, Amos brings palm-muted arpeggios and grungy blasts of guitar while Brown narrates deadpanned, surrealist verses. The song also arrives with a music video inspired by several eras of television, and feature Amos and Brown in a variety of vintage sets and situations. Check out 'Life Signs' below. Since releasing their lauded 2023 album Everyone's Crushed, Brown and Amos have been busy; they toured frequently, embarking on a large slate of dates opening for their labelmates Interpol (including their performance in Mexico City, which drew 160,000 attendees) and a co-headlining run with Squid. They also resurfaced for a covers EP in 2024. Meanwhile, they both released solo albums: Brown shared an EP under the moniker thanks for coming, while Amos released an acclaimed debut album Box For Buddy, Box For Star last year as This Is Lorelei.
