Water From Your Eyes Releases New Song “Nights in Armor”
Brooklyn-based indie pop band Water From Your Eyes, consisting of Nate Amos (guitar) and Rachel Brown (vocals), will release their upcoming album “It's A Beautiful Place” this Friday (August 22nd).
From the album, the band released a new song “Nights in Armor” on August 18, 2025.
The song is the third and final pre-release single, following “Playing Classics” and “Life Signs”.
Originally, the song was written for the band guitarist Nate Amos's solo project. It was written by Rachel Brown, and Nate Amos, who also produced the track.
The accompanying music video was directed by Jo Shaffer.
Nate Amos said of the song, “'Nights In Armor' started life as a weird little Lorelei song called 'Grill'. I always felt like the riff was cooler than the song, so I recycled it into a new track and added other instrumentation specifically meant to place the guitar part in a radically different context to see what other emotional roles it could play. I remember struggling with writing a vocal hook I was happy with and I'm pretty sure at a certain part I reversed it and built the bass line around the backwards melody.”
The band said of the video, “Very excited to share the third and final single 'Nights in Armor' with an unreal animated music video by our insanely talented friend Jo Shaffer cannot even fathom how one would go about making something so cool, but they really did that.”- The new album comprises 10 tracks, produced by Nate Amos. It is their first album in two years since the 2023 album “Everyone's Crushed”.
Rachel Brown said of the album, “I've been carrying around The Dispossessed (a 1974 anarchist utopian novel by Ursula K. Le Guin) and There Is No Unhappy Revolution (a 2017 non-fiction by Marcello Tarì) in my backpack for well over a year now. They have been to four different continents and across almost every state line. While writing lyrics for the album, I skimmed both books quite thoroughly.” -
Nate Amos continued, When you're playing with a band you tend to write with one in mind—this was the first time I wrote anything for WFYE imagining us playing anywhere bigger than a basement. A song can feel like everything, communicating vast emotional landscapes, but your favorite album is less important than any person. That person is less interesting than any dinosaur. That dinosaur is less important than any mountain. That mountain is boring compared to any planet. That planet is only a part of a solar system. That solar system is microscopic next to any galaxy. If music and all other human practices are meaningless on a cosmic scale why does it still feel so important?”
