Water From Your Eyes today release “Playing Classics,” the second single from their highly anticipated album, It’s A Beautiful Place, due out August 22nd on Matador Records. This new track sees duo Nate Amos and Rachel Brown deliver a sprawling, coolly composed banger: a six-minute, dancefloor-ready epic that elegantly weaves heat-warped piano lines through pulsing four-on-the-floor rhythms.
The NYC-based duo has recently garnered significant attention, with profiles in The Guardian and Rolling Stone, the latter hailing their forthcoming album as “jaw-droppingly brilliant.” Water From Your Eyes will support It’s A Beautiful Place with extensive headline tours across both North America and Europe, with the European leg commencing on November 13th at London’s Village Underground and concluding on December 7th at Lisbon’s Musicbox.
Throughout It’s A Beautiful Place, Water From Your Eyes demonstrates a masterful ability to transform their unique artistic quirks into resounding successes. The album presents a soundscape that is at once vast and melancholic, yet also imbued with a sense of wide-eyed wonder and trepidation. It evokes a cinematic blend, akin to the dystopian grandeur of Blade Runner infused with the endearing optimism of WALL-E, or the intellectual depth of Kubrick and Asimov, tempered with the unexpected humor of Jay and Silent Bob. These are compositions that gaze beyond the self, contemplating humanity’s modest place in the cosmos, all while celebrating the profound beauty that surrounds us.
