It’s a Beautiful Place (released in August via Remote Control/Matador Records), is Water From Your Eyes’ glittering and gonzo magnum opus. Since its release, the album has been met with an outpouring of praise, 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, Flaunt, and performed ‘Life Signs’ on Colbert’s #LateShowMeMusic series.

Throughout It’s a Beautiful Place is a clear sense of a band who have honed their curveballs into home runs. Looming and melancholy, these are songs that look outward, conscious of our smallness and questioning our place in the universe while admiring the surrounding beauty. The band – now a four-piece on stage with Al Nardo (guitar) and Bailey Wollowitz (drums) – has just completed a mostly sold-out US headline tour and will kick off a run of European dates this week, with a sold-out show at London’s Village Underground.

In the time since WFYE’s 2023 Everyone’s Crushed debut and critical breakout – which appeared in end of year lists by The New York Times, The Guardian, Pitchfork, NME, Vogue, Wired and Rolling Stone – Rachel Brown and Nate Amos have become a pillar of the city’s alternative music scene and one of its most revered underground exports.

“Their most joyously out-there achievement yet — a mind-blowing concept album about time, space travel, and the nature of reality.” – Rolling Stone

“sprawling, amorphous, hermetic, overwhelming, heartbreaking, funny as hell.” – Pitchfork

“the Brooklyn indie scene’s talk of the town. The near-uncategorizable duo have become one of those bands that everyone who knows says you should know”  – NYLON
