REVIEW: The experimental duo Water From Your Eyes deliver enjoyably disorienting music on their new album ‘Everyone’s Crushed.’
first time you heard the word ‘saccharine’?” singer Rachel Brown asks, sounding a bit like a tired Beat poet, onEveryone’s Crushed
– at least the ones that don’t read like free-associated stream of consciousness poetry – Brown’s question could be taken ironically. Since forming in 2016, Water From Your Eyes have paired noisy yet winsome music with winky, tongue-in-cheek lyrics that Brown delivers in a way that can sound at once sweetly innocent and slightly devious. That vague insincerity is an acquired taste but once you’re immersed in it, it can feel almost charming. It’s the secret ingredient that made their covers album, 2021’s, their 2021 album of originals, strangely endearing.opens up like its own universe.
This chaos frequently works in the duo’s favor. “Out There” begins with funky bass and ascending synths for a good minute before Amos starts squalling his guitar and Brown speak-sings a string of single syllable nouns and verbs: “track, give, dive, slack, drag, draft, mud, scram.” Does it mean anything? It’s hard to tell with the guitar jumping between your ears, but the effect is fun.
