"As if emptying the contents of an overstimulated head on to a metal workbench, this triumph of art-pop is noisy, disorientating and full of possibility" - The Guardian

On Friday, July 5th, Water From Your Eyes will release MP3 Player 1, a four-song EP featuring covers of music by Chumbawamba, Adele, Al Green, and Third Eye Blind.

The songs carry on a WFYE tradition established on 2021’s covers LP Somebody Else’s Songs – with Nate Amos and Rachel Brown casually knocking out skewed (and sometimes very earnest) takes on music they love.

“These are covers that we made at the same time as we were finishing Everyone’s Crushed,” say the band. “Nate chose ‘Good Ship Lifestyle’ and Rachel chose the other three. Chumbawamba is an obvious favorite of ours, but it is between Adele in the style of The Cure and Al Green as the most left field covers we could have chosen. We think it’s funny and good, but ultimately that will be left to the listeners to decide for themselves.”
