Water From Your Eyes
Structure (black)
Water From Your Eyes' Rachel Brown and Nate Amos are no strangers to contradiction, with Pitchfork making note of their "confidence in splicing different genres and feels from acoustic twee to indie-electronica" in their review of 2019's 'Somebody Else's Songs'. 'Structure' - with its tendency to turn on a dime from the buzzsaw synths and string arrangements and Squarepusher-esque rhythms that round out electronic compositions - may just seem like a further refinement of the duo's idiosyncratic approach to making music. However, repeat listens will reveal that, even though the album zigs and zags in a manner consistent with their prior releases, its line of best fit trends in a very clear direction away from the quaint affectations of their prior work and towards something more deliberate and half a shade darker.
