ON OUR RADAR: Wet

To put them on our radar this month, we realized, is such an under-statement, because this indie R&B Brooklyn trio have got a fine coverage - thanks to their four-song debut EP which released under Neon Gold Records, last October. But an act of kindness (this time, read: a promising act with hypnotic sound) is never too late, isn't it?

We've been hearing the EP via their Soundcloud account throughout this month, and we got hooked. However, when we looked back to the early April days, the term "fall in love at first sight" can be used to describe our first love to Wet through this song.

First cut, we felt their sound reminds us of London Grammar. Following our curiosity that time, we began searching their other songs. That wasn't a wrong move.

Here are few facts about the group - which we have gathered around the Web:

• Wet was listed as one of '10 bands to watch' according to Billboard's CMJ on October last year. And in late November, the trio "joined CHVRCHES for a string of five live shows". 
• December last year, Lorde, posted Wet's EP with caption from the song "You're the Best" on her Instagram. The photo got more than 16.000 likes, although there was someone mistake it for Lana Del Rey's song. 
• Late March this year, Australia's The Music, broke the news that the group have joined Dew Process - an Aussie's local label. 
• They see e-mail as an important tool. At the beginning, the group thought this was a casual, an art project. But things became difficult (singer moved to Providence and drummer moved to LA), thus the process was like as singer Kelly told UK's This is Fake DIY: “I’d keep sending demos to Marty in Brooklyn, and then we’d send it to Joe who would add a beat and do a little bit of production. But we all moved back to Brooklyn in the summer of 2012, and then we could work on the music in person. Still e-mailing though; that’s a big part of our process.” 
• Their presence on the Internet has a good record. The biggest remarks was presented by their official site, which we found playful and funny. On the other note, however simple the design, important links which you might needed is all there. 

Next month, Wet will perform at UK's The Great Escape, a three-day festival in Brighton. 

We're sure that they won't tour Asia or these down under countries in the next months. But we hope that when the right time comes, Wet's setlist is filled with their songs from the self-titled EP and the full album - which is now still in process!
