WATER FROM YOUR EYES new album 'It's A Beautiful Place' out new, on tour this autumn
WATER FROM YOUR EYES
CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED NEW ALBUM
OUT NOW
ON TOUR IN THE UK, EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA THIS AUTUMN
“sprawling, amorphous, hermetic, overwhelming, heartbreaking, funny as hell” – Pitchfork (8.3 - Best New Music)
“the most optimistic Water From Your Eyes project yet, a representation of the band’s omnivorous spirit” – The Guardian
“It’s brilliant, and sure to send them further into the indie rock cosmos that they’ve been orbiting for the last few years” – NME (****)
“quite possibly 2025’s greatest album yet (...) the album it always felt like this band could make” – Loud & Quiet
“A dizzying, technicolour collage” – The Quietus
“It’s A Beautiful Place is both exactly what you might’ve imagined from a new Water From Your Eyes album and also not anything you could’ve predicted. It’s the exhilaration of watching a band get better and better, delivering on heightened expectations by every metric” – Stereogum ‘Album of the Week’
“Their most joyously out-there achievement yet — a mind-blowing concept album about time, space travel, and the nature of reality” – Rolling Stone
“the Brooklyn indie scene’s talk of the town..The near-uncategorizable duo have become one of those bands that everyone who knows says you should know” – NYLON
Last Friday, Water From Your Eyes released their glittering and gonzo magnum opus, It’s A Beautiful Place. The album has since met with an outpouring of praise and good will, including rave reviews at Pitchfork (8.3 Best New Music), Stereogum (Album of the Week), MOJO (****), NME (****), and more. The Brooklyn-based duo – Nate Amos and Rachel Brown – were also interviewed in The Guardian, Rolling Stone, FADER, Nylon, NME, Blackbird Spyplane, and Flaunt. Today at 5pm BST, they’ll participate in a Reddit AMA via Indieheads.
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. The latter kicks off on November 13 at Village Underground in London and ends December 7 at Lisbon’s Musicbox. Purchase tickets HERE.
Water From Your Eyes 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 Sign’, 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.
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.
