Life is horribly dark right now. And yet, it is not unfunny. That�s the sentiment that animates Water From Your Eyes on their new album, and first for Matador, �Everyone�s Crushed.� On the follow-up to the Brooklyn duo�s 2021 breakthrough, �Structure,� Rachel Brown (they/them) and Nate Amos (he/him) find silliness and fatalism dancing in a frantic lockstep, using heart palpitating rhythms and absurdist, deadpan lyrics to convey stories of personal and societal unease. Described by Brown as Water From Your Eyes� most collaborative record ever � and, as such, a kind of reset for the pair, almost like a debut, despite technically being their sixth �it�s a swollen contusion of an album: experimental pop music that�s pretty and violent, raw and indelible.
