Born To Become Something Else

Water From Your Eyes round off 2025 with a new EP, It's Beautiful.

As the title suggests, it contains reworked versions of three songs from their current album, It's A Beautiful Place.

The revelation though is Playing Classics, which I raved about in July. commending the fact that it "crams about twenty different songs into just under six minutes".

Both It's Beautiful and It's A Beautiful Place are available from Bandcamp and various other places.
