Like a lot of people who live deep in their own brains, Water From Your Eyes’ Nate Amos and Rachel Brown use humor as a smokescreen. And here’s that word again: “I was very anti-guitar for a long time, and then I realised that guitar is actually really funny,” Amos recently said of the stylistic turn the band takes on its thrilling new album, It’s a Beautiful Place. “Like, nothing’s funnier than a guitar solo.”A two-person mind meld fueled by inside jokes and existential awe, Water From Your Eyes are unreliable narrators who can be counted on to perplex, enthrall, and occasionally shred. Their music is antic and turbulent in equal measure, marked by strange time signatures, stylistic pileups, and conflicted emotions hidden behind dazed grins. To call It’s a Beautiful Place merely “funny” would be like calling Fargo a workplace comedy about a used-car salesman, or Being John Malkovich a mistaken-identity rom com.
