WATER FROM YOUR EYES
ANNOUNCE AUTUMN UK AND EU TOUR DATES
This autumn, Water From Your Eyes will return to the UK and EU for a run of dates, which include appearances at Pitchfork Festivals in Berlin, Paris, and London, headline dates in Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, Margate and Bristol, and the Primavera Weekender in Benidorm. Tickets for the headline shows will go on sale Friday, June 9th, at 10am BST / 11am CEST HERE.
The band’s new album and Matador debut, ‘Everyone’s Crushed’, has met with effusive and near-universal praise, including top marks from Pitchfork (8.3, Best New Music), The Guardian (**** ‘Album of the Week’), Stereogum (‘Album of the Week’), and Rolling Stone (****). The album was previewed with singles “Barley”, “True Life” and “14”. Both videos for ‘Barley’ and ‘14’ were directed by the band’s Rachel Brown.
Across the record’s nine tracks, 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, it’s a swollen contusion of an album: experimental pop music that’s pretty and violent, raw and indelible.
In June, they’ll embark on a run of east coast headline shows, followed in the fall by a west coast run with Melody’s Echo Chamber. The band are also confirmed for Summerstage in Central Park this July, and Oya Night, Way Out West, Lowlands, Greenman, and MS Dockville Festivals in August. A complete list of upcoming dates can be found below.
