Somebody Else's Song is the second studio album by American indie pop band Water from Your Eyes. It was released on October 25, 2019, through Exploding in Sound.
Background and composition
The title track is a combination of two unfinished This Is Lorelei tracks from summer 2017.[1] “Break” was composed in October 2018 with lyrics finalized and recorded in February 2019.[1] Following the release of Water from Your Eyes' first EP All a Dance in 2018, they released Somebody Else's Song.[1]
Critical reception
Quinn Moreland of Pitchfork would comment on the album saying the songs "focus on the push and pull between the comfort of dreams and a hazy reality.”[2] Tom Alexander writing for Post-Trash described it as more "nuanced" and "radical" than [their] previous work.[3]
