Wet

Released in 2013, the self-titled 'Wet' EP served as the definitive introduction to the Brooklyn-based trio. Comprising Kelly Zutrau, Joe Valle, and Marty Sulkow, the band carved out a unique niche by blending the skeletal structures of PBR&B with the melodic sensibilities of indie pop. The EP is most notable for the track 'Don’t Wanna Be Your Girl,' which became a viral touchstone for its stark honesty and minimalist arrangement. Sonically, the project is defined by its use of 'negative space' - the silences between notes are as important as the notes themselves. Critical reception was overwhelmingly positive, with outlets like Pitchfork praising the band's ability to make highly produced digital music feel intensely human and fragile. This EP established the 'liquid' sonic palette that would define their debut LP 'Don't You,' but many fans still point to this four-track collection as their most concentrated and potent emotional statement.
