Brooklyn experimental duo Water From Your Eyes (featuring Rachel Brown and This is Lorelei‘s Nate Amos) have announced a new album, It’s a Beautiful Place, due out on Aug. 22 via Matador. It’s their second album for the label, the follow-up to 2023’s Everyone’s Crushed (one of our favorite albums of that year), and Amos says, “It ended up being about time, dinosaurs, and space. We wanted to present a wide range of styles in a way that acknowledges everything’s just a tiny blip.”
Brown directed the video for the first single, “Life Signs,” and they say, “Television has always been my biggest passion, and this video was mostly conceived from my desire to experiment with the tropes of genre. But I also think the medium lends itself to the idea of fitting an infinite amount of universes into a little box you can keep in your living room. I wanted the video to encapsulate as many worlds as the song does and to express an entire lifetime within a short few minutes.” Watch it below.
