On Wets delicately pretty Dont You, the young trio from Brooklyn offers a sweet
debut brimming with innocence, romance, and the sometimes uncertain moments that
float in between, enveloping those empty spaces with a comforting embrace. Much
of Wets strength lies in the angelic vocals that glide over the warm-textured
atmospherics. Here, Kelly Zutrau confidently delivers breathless coos and
confident pleas that draw focus to the lyrical tenderness - whether shes
lamenting a fading love with resignation or proclaiming her devotion - while
Joseph Valle and Martin Sulkow create flowing soundscapes that shimmer like
water at sunset. The calming effect of the music is hypnotic: Dont Wanna Be Your
Girl is warm and patient, while the peaceful Island allows the listener to float
away on a twilight wave. The bulk of the album swells with the same precious
yearning, illustrated in the longing push and pull of Body and the sweeping rush
of Move Me. The livelier moments appear on first single Deadwater, the Where Did
Our Love Go-esque Weak, and album highlights All the Ways and the tropical Youre
the Best. Catchy and upbeat, these are the poppiest offerings on an album that
is otherwise content with patience, comfort, and peace, which helps
differentiate Wet from scene peers who craft similarly gorgeous downtempo,
R&B-inflected indie pop, like Broods and Vaults. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
