New York City-based trio Wet is currently touring in support of their new album Letter Blue and its companion EP Letter Blue (Reprise) (AWAL), stopping by the Fine Line Music Café in Minneapolis on June 13, 2022.
New York, by the way of Texas, Hannah Jadagu opened the show. The young singer started her career by recording music on her iPhone 7 and using Garageband to edit. Some of those songs made it to her Subpop release for What is Going On?, a five-song collection from her bedroom.
She played everything off the EP, including “Bleep Bloop”, which was written during Jadagu’s first semester of senior year. In an interview, she described how it came to exist: “I couldn’t seem to sleep one night, so I just grabbed my guitar and started singing/playing what came to mind. Most of the lyrics blossomed out of a singular freestyle without much premeditation. The song both acknowledges and battles with the idea that we as young people are often expected to just ‘deal with it,’ and the lack of awareness for our mental health. ”
Highlight of her set was a cover of The Script’s “Falling to Pieces”… which she said she was in highschool when that song came out.
Jadagu ended her set with “All My Time Is Wasted.” The original single released featured backing vocals from Frankie Cosmos.
It’s hard to believe that we’ve been seeing Wet since Feb 2016, when they just released their debut album Don’t You on Columbia Records. They sold out the 7th Street Entry, and we described the show, “A dark stage and emanating low-end hum introduced Wet, touring as a four-piece (vocalist Kelly Zutrau, and multi-instrumentalists Joe Valle, and Marty Sulkow, joined by a touring drummer) to the enthralled audience. The band’s dreamy indie electronic sound takes its time to percolate, similar to UK band London Grammar, and is a soundtrack for timeless wandering in this plane of existence… and others.”
Looking at Wet’s appearances over the years (Feb 2016, Oct 2016, and Mar 2019), I can tell you that they’ve upped their game as far as stage setup. With this 2022 tour, they erected white flags with air flow to keep the flag wavering. With custom lights, they made it visually appealing and interesting to see their live show.
With Letter Blue, as Wet’s third studio album, the band re-enlisted founding guitarist Marty Sulkow (who left the group in 2017). With Sulkow coming back into the fold, hopefully the trio will produce more songs using their winning formula when they started with Neon Gold.
The first part and the last part of their set were new songs from Letter Blue, with the majority of songs from their older albums in the middle. They did save their biggest hit song, “Don’t Wanna Be Your Girl”, towards the end of the set.
Wet’s new EP Letter Blue (Reprise) is out now via AWAL.
