Water From Your Eyes have announced their four-song covers EP, MP3 Player 1, that is due for release this Friday via Matador. Today, they have shared their new track, a cover of Chumbawamba’s “The Good Ship Lifestyle.” Listen below. Also below, find the band’s tour dates and MP3 Player 1’s tracklist and cover art.

MP3 Player 1 is comprised of four songs that were recorded during the same time as their Matador debut, Everyone’s Crushed in 2023.

Water From Your Eyes collectively had this to say on the EP in a press release: “These are covers that we made at the same time as we were finishing Everyone’s Crushed. 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.”

Amos recently released Box for Buddy, Box for Star, his debut album as This Is Lorelei, on Double Double Whammy. Read our review of it here.
