Out Today : Water From Your Eyes - 'Crushed By Everyone'
photo by Nikolas Soelter
Out today, 'Crushed By Everyone' is a song-by-song rework of Water From Your Eyes’ 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 duo’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). Kassie Krut twists the title track up amid tumbling kick drums and snare pops. Nourished by Time croons atop a chopped up and scrambled “True Life.” The record also finds Water From Your Eyes reinterpreting themselves, with Nate dialing Nu Metal grind and microtonal drone into an undeniably epic update on “Barley".
Earlier this month, Water From Your Eyes appeared as a musical guest on The Best Show, performing a five-song set.
In February, the band will be back on the road supporting Squid on a full US tour, performing in a newly-minted quartet lineup featuring live drums. Water From Your Eyes will conclude their Europe tour tonight with a performance at Primavera Weekender. The run has received rave reviews, with Pitchfork writing "If there’s still such a thing as distinctively New York cool, we were witnessing it."

Far be it for us to suggest that you, the valued customer, are in any way susceptible to manipulation. It would be an insult for the label to think you’re so weak-willed that our in-house medium (tbh he’s closer to an xtra large) could somehow dupe you into loading up a virtual shopping cart. So maybe a 25% off discount at the Matador Store with code “BRAINWASH” will do the trick ; offer good from now thru November 26 ; entire in-print catalog included save for preorders.
