Wet

The first thing (well, top five) to note about Brooklyn trio Wet is that they’ve killed three birds with one URL-shaped stone with their kanyewet.biz domain name. 1: It’s a saucy bit of wordplay, which everyone loves. 2: They’ve managed to swerve the eternal plight of the un-Googleable neo-RnB artist. And 3: It’s a wily attempt to exploit the highly lucrative typo market. And anyone who happens upon the band, deliberately or otherwise, will be very pleased they did. Their self-titled debut EP, which caused a quiet storm on its US release late last year, melds opulent, sundown electro-pop to stripped-back yet anthemic indie, pinned together by expert percussive trills and pining multi-tracked vocals. The EP drops in the UK via National Anthem, accompanied by a brief jaunt around the island, this month. There’s a fair chance people are gonna freak for it.
