Life is horribly dark right now. And yet, it is not unfunny. That's the sentiment that animates Water From Your Eyes on their 2023 album, and first for Matador, 'Everyone's Crushed'. On the follow-up to the Brooklyn duo's 2021 breakthrough, 'Structure', Rachel Brown and Nate Amos 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.
