thanks for coming is the songwriting project of Rachel Brown (they/them), one half of the duo Water From Your Eyes. Brown started recording music alone in Chicago during high school (their first Bandcamp release bears the description "I wrote these songs instead of doing homework") before recording their first full band release Dude, Just Shut Up with their Water From Your Eyes bandmate Nate Amos on drums in the summer of 2015. The EP was released just a few weeks before they moved to New York City to study film and television at New York University, where they have remained since. Following their relocation, they continued to release music on their Bandcamp which now hosts almost 80 thanks for coming releases.

In December of 2022, thanks for coming released a retrospective compilation made up of highlights from their Bandcamp career to date called You Haven’t Missed Much. Described by Pitchfork as an "endearing tour of Brown’s artistic growth and the lived-in charm of their songwriting," it was their first release on the label Danger Collective. 

On their new EP, What is My Capacity to Love?, which will be released on Danger Collective on September 29th, Brown attempts to pick apart the push and pull patterns that they have watched themself repeat in their romantic relationships. Written largely in the immediate aftermath of a breakup, the EP traces “the minor tragedy that played out with that relationship.”
