August 27 street date. Delighting in contradiction, "Structure" is an ambitious LP that approaches its own impressive scope and aspiration with a tongue-in-cheek humour and a reflexive self-effacement that wonderfully reflects the personalities of its creators. Influenced by Scott Walker's sole 80s release, "Climate Of Hunter" and the works of the colourfield painter Mark Rothko, it's a concept album that pokes fun of the idea of concept albums, exploring high-minded ideas while subverting them and applying a hyper-focused eye for detail in the service of a series of clever misdirections. When taken together, "Structure" paints a picture too vast to be taken in at once, but repeated listens reveal melodic subtleties, rhythmic minutiae, and lyrical repetition that allow the whole to come into focus. Whether the lasting impression is concrete or abstract will depend on the listener's perspective, but from any vantage point "Structure" is a thrillingly original release and a first-class achievement in brutalist pop.

May 26 street date. Life is horribly dark right now, and yet, it is not unfunny. That's the sentiment that animates Water From Your Eyes throughout their latest album, and first for Matador, "Everyone's Crushed". On the follow-up to the Brooklyn duo's 2021 breakthrough, "Structure", Rachel Brown (they/them) and Nate Amos (he/him) find silliness and fatalism dancing in a frantic lockstep, using heart palpitating rhythms and absurdist, deadpan lyrics to convey stories of personal and societal unease. Described by Brown as Water From Your Eyes' most collaborative record ever, it's a swollen contusion of an album: experimental pop music that's pretty and violent, raw and indelible.
