WholesomeRadio Album Feature: Structure by Water From Your Eyes

The unexpectedness of Water From Your Eyes’ Structure is what makes the album infinitely intriguing. From start to finish, the electro-pop duo, consisting of Rachel Brown and Nate Amos, captivates with their ethereal sound.

Opening with a heartwarming ballad, “When You’re Around” embraces the feeling of melting and swooning over someone special. Seemingly straight out of an eighties rom-com and alluding to the duo’s name, Brown sings “there is water in my eyes and I’m alive… when you’re with me we’re meant to be.” Next, with “My Love’s” the duo takes a turn into the obscure, experimenting with different sounds, combining layers on top of layers, that somehow yields a satisfying result. The dream-like single “Quotations” features hazy lyrics and vocals over a perpetual synth and drum beat. Embedded within these abysmal songs are a couple short spoken prose tracks, that sends listeners deeper into whatever strange world Water From Your Eyes has created.

According to Amos, Water From Your Eyes’ entire discography is “weed music,'' claiming all the music they make is the aftermath of a spliff. The record's title juxtaposes this suggested sense of order by instead accepting the wake of experimentation. Structure is meant to be a venture away from normalcy, where making music can be less serious, more spontaneous, yet equally thrilling.
