Water From Your Eyes 宣布新EP, 翻唱 Adele, Al Green, Chumbawamba 和 Third Eye Blind

美国独立流行二人组 Water From Your Eyes 宣布了一张新的翻唱EP, “MP3 Player 1,” 将于本周五(7月12日)通过 Matador Records 发行. 在这张EP中, 他们翻唱了 Adele, Al Green, Chumbawamba 和 Third Eye Blind 的歌曲. 为配合这一消息的宣布, 他们分享了 Chumbawamba 的1997年歌曲 “The Good Ship Lifestyle” 的翻唱版. 新闻稿摘录如下:

(July 9, 2024) - 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. Listen to the version of Chumbawamba’s ‘The Goodship Lifestyle’, below.

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.”

Speaking of tradition: On July 25, Water From Your Eyes will mount its second annual Boat Show. This year’s floating concert – which will depart from NYC’s Pier 36 – will feature WFYE alongside headliners Model/Actiz, as well as Kassie Krut and DJ Practice.

The band – now augmented with guitarist Al Nardo and drummer Bailey Wollowitz – will continue to perform throughout the summer, with stops at Pitchfork Music Festival, Pickathon Experimental Music Festival, End of the Road, and Corona Capital.

Under the heading “A Weird Band For Weird Times”, Stereogum recently profiled Water From Your Eyes, catching up with Nate and Rachel at Salt Lake City’s Kilby Block Party and on tour with Real Estate in Nashville. Read it HERE: http://t.cn/A6QBah5e
