Wet drapes VEGA in spherical indie pop
The American indie pop trio has been creating electronic and weightless synthpop songs since 2012. The latest songs from Wet landed two years ago where the EP, Pink Room came out. It was part of the acclaimed record label Secretly Canadian's Friends of series, a series of special releases from artists not normally part of Secretly Canadian's roster.
In 2021, Wet released the album, Letter Blue, where the listener is invited into a spherical universe that alternates between dreamy and more dynamic songs. The 10 tracks were created with input from several partners. Blood Orange features on the song "Bound", while Toro y Mois' Chaz Bear and Buddy Ross (Bon Iver, HAIM, Arlo Parks, Fred Again, Banks, etc.) have helped write songs and produce the album. Guitarist Marty Sulkow left Wet in 2017, but returned to the trio he helped start in 2021.
The songs move through the entire complexity of the emotional barometer, and lead singer and songwriter Kelly Zutrau talks about the emotional aspect in their press material: “I'm always interested in multiple feelings at once. Not just a happy song, but happy and sad and guilty — those can all be true.”
