waterfromyoureyes don’t take much seriously, but they are deeply invested in cover songs. Today they share MP3 Player 1, an EP of new covers they made while working on last year’s Everyone’s Crushed. With a tracklist that includes deep cuts by Chumbawamba, and Third Eye Blind, plus Adele’s “Someone Like You” done in the style of The Cure (and some “Sk8er Boi” hooks thrown in for good measure), MP3 Player 1 is playful and free like a good time at the karaoke bar, one where a friend shows a side of themselves you haven’t quite seen expressed so clearly. For a collection of covers, the new EP is remarkably in conversation with the band’s art-rock originals, maintaining both the stoner humor and disorientingly addictive take on DIY indie rock that made Everyone’s Crushed a breakout album for the prolific pair.
