Stream "worlds greatest emoter"
Pre-order 'The Twits'
bar italia have released new single and video “worlds greatest emoter”, a driving and ascending standout from their forthcoming second full length of 2023, ‘The Twits’, out November 3rd.
‘worlds greatest emoter’ follows singles “my little tony” which is currently on the BBC 6 Music playlist and “Jelsy”, which The Times described as “slow-burning eerie bluesy rock with a hint of bossa nova from the celebrated trio”, while The Guardian said, “this mordant cowboy strum becomes hypnotic thanks to the London band's trifecta of vocalists, each sounding nihilistic and freshly released from a dark cupboard".
bar italia will host ‘drawings by bar italia’ on October 27th at the Frieze exhibition space at No.9 Cork Street, London. The public view will be at 6pm-8pm.
The band kick off their UK tour October 31st in Manchester, culminating in sold out shows at Rough Trade East on November 6th and Village Underground on November 7th, followed by European headline and festival shows. They play their their first full North American tour in December, including sold out New York shows at Bowery Ballroom and Elsewhere. A full list of dates can be found below.

Coming November 17: Water From Your Eyes - 'Crushed by Everyone'
(photo: Nik Soelter)
Pre-save 'Crushed by Everyone' / Stream 'Crushed Barley'
Stream / Purchase 'Everyone's Crushed'
On November 17, Water From Your Eyes will release 'Crushed by Everyone,' a song-by-song rework of the duo’s 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 group’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).
“It’s amazing to live at a time in which so many incredible musicians have the ability not only to inspire us, but to envision our existing works in their own unique practices,” writes Water From Your Eyes. “We are so grateful that all of these talented artists spent their invaluable time and energy on this project. We hope that you enjoy listening to these remixes as much as we have.”
Today, you can hear four tracks including Mandy, Indiana’s spaced-out deconstruction of “Remember Not My Name,” Sword II’s electro-tinged pass at “Open,” and fantasy of a broken heart’s chopped and spliced take on “Buy My Product.” This batch also finds Water From Your Eyes reinterpreting themselves, with Nate dialing Nu Metal grind and microtonal drone into an undeniably epic update on “Barley.” Listen HERE.
This week, Water From Your Eyes will perform at the Levitation Festival in Austin, TX. In November, the band will return to the UK and Europe for a run of headline shows, appearances at Pitchfork (Paris, London, and Berlin) and the Mutations, Sonic City, and Primavera Weekender festivals.
'Crushed by Everyone' Tracklist
1. Structure (The Cradle Version)
2. Crushed Barley
3. Out There (The Dare Version)
4. Open (Sword II Version)
5. Everyone’s Crushed (Kassie Krut Version)
6. True Life (Nourished by Time Version)
7. Remember Not My Name (Mandy, Indiana Version)
8. 14 (Jute Gyte Version)
9. Buy My Product (fantasy of a broken heart Version)
