Water From Your Eyes Announce New EP, Share Cover of Chumbawamba’s ‘The Good Ship Lifestyle’

Water From Your Eyes have announced a covers EP, MP3 Player 1, which lands this Friday, July 12 via Matador. It features covers of songs by Adele, Al Green, Third Eye Blind, and Chumbawamba, and today, they’ve offered their take on Chumbawamba’s 1997 track ‘The Good Ship Lifestyle’. Listen to it below.

Rachel Brown and Nate Amos laid down MP3 Player 1 around the same time they recorded their Matador debut, Everyone’s Crushed. It continues a tradition the duo established on their 2021 covers LP Somebody Else’s Songs. “These are covers that we made at the same time as we were finishing Everyone’s Crushed,” the band explained. “Nate chose ‘Good Ship Lifestyle’ and Rachel chose the other three. Chumbawamba is an obvious favorite of ours, but it is between Adele in the style of The Cure and Al Green as the most left field covers we could have chosen. We think it’s funny and good, but ultimately that will be left to the listeners to decide for themselves.”

Earlier this year, Water from Your Eyes covered Ween’s ‘If You Could Save Yourself (You’d Save Us All)’ for Sounds of Saving and 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline’s ‘Song That Found Me At The Right Time’ series.
