IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE (VINYL)

It's A Beautiful Place, the new full-length from Water From Your Eyes out August 22, opens with zero-gravity instrumental 'One Small Step' - a fitting prelude for what is one giant leap for the New York duo. The album is a gleaming megalopolis: a satellite view of eras and musical forms, a reframing of the y2k songbook that is at once awe-struck and mindful of its place in the vastness. "It ended up being about time, dinosaurs and space," says Nate Amos. "We wanted to present a wide range of styles in a way that acknowledges everything's just a tiny blip."
