Out today digitally, It’s Beautiful is a new EP featuring fully reimagined takes of three songs from Water From Your Eyes’ It’s a Beautiful Place. Here guitarist and producer Nate Amos tweaks, twists, and warps the arrangements for ‘Born 2,’ ‘Nights in Armor,’ and ‘Playing Classics,’ dramatically shifting the scenery around and emotional resonance of singer Rachel Brown’s vocal leads.
“The new versions of ‘Born 2’ and ‘Nights in Armor’ are actually just closer to how the songs existed in their original form,” says Amos. “People were asking me about the original 10+ minute version of playing classics and I can’t find it anymore, so I made a new one. Thought it would be funny if it was faster, too. I added car sound effects because cars are fast.
Water From Your Eyes are currently at the tail end of a global headline run, having sold out dates across North America, UK, and Europe. There’s much more to come: Next year, the band will support Hayley Williams across her sold-out 2026 tour, make their Australian debut, and return to Primavera Sound. Water From Your Eyes’ debut headline shows in Melbourne at The Night Cat, and Sydney at The Oxford Arts Factory are on sale now via frontiertouring.com. The band are also set to take the stage at Golden Plains Music Festival in Meredith, Victoria.
Earlier this month, Water From Your Eyes were featured performing ‘Life Signs’ on Colbert’s #LateShowMeMusic series. The clip – shot at Gary’s Electric studio in Brooklyn – captures the live band in peak form, fresh off the first leg of their US tour. Watch it HERE.
Released in August, It’s a Beautiful Place is Water From Your Eyes’ glittering and gonzo magnum opus. 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), Bandcamp (Album of the Day), Paste (8.7), and more. The Brooklyn-based duo – Nate Amos and Rachel Brown – were also interviewed in Rolling Stone, FADER, Nylon, the Needle Drop, Blackbird Spyplane, and Flaunt.
