Out Now: Water From Your Eyes – It’s A Beautiful Place + ‘Nights In Armor’

Water From Your Eyes release It’s a Beautiful Place. The album is the duo’s dizzying, chrome-tinted masterpiece, which Rolling Stone has christened “their most joyously out there achievement yet.”

The duo finished It’s a Beautiful Place last summer, just as they have every other WFYE release, in Amos’s bedroom, under the watchful eye of a tattered Robin Williams poster from the Mork & Mindy era.“Basically,” jokes Amos, “Robin is like a silent member of Water From Your Eyes.” The first single, ‘Life Signs,’ however, was shaped around the dynamics of a full-blooded live group, “When you’re playing with a band you tend to write with one in mind – this was the first time I wrote anything for WFYE imagining us playing anywhere bigger than a basement”, he observes.

The duo also recently shared the album’s ebullient and expansive third single ‘Nights in Armor’  (watch the Jo Shaffer-directed video HERE.) “Nights In Armor started life as a weird little Lorelei song called ‘Grill,’ explains WFYE’s Nate Amos. “I always felt like the riff was cooler than the song, so I recycled it into a new track and added other instrumentation specifically meant to place the guitar part in a radically different context to see what other emotional roles it could play. I remember struggling with writing a vocal hook I was happy with and I’m pretty sure at a certain part I reversed it and built the bass line around the backwards melody.”
