Wet- research

Wet's self-titled debut EP, released last October on Neon Gold Records, has sold 1,000 copies to date, according to Nielsen SoundScan. But several figures within the music industry seem to think that Wet's first release is the first precursor to something much bigger. The songs that Wet has released thus far are all "breakup songs, at least superficially," says Zutrau, but that won't be the case forever. The threesome has been practicing and recording all day in Brooklyn -- preparing for the many live shows and debut album that will both inevitably come -- and then crashing hard at night. "It's exhausting," says Valle, "and so much fun at the same time."  The three members of Wet met while Sulkow and Valle attended NYU and Zutrau was a student at Cooper Union in New York, and the trio began making music casually. When Zutrau moved to Providence to attend the Rhode Island School of Design and Valle headed to Los Angeles for a brief period, the three continued to email each other unfinished tracks, and when they reconvened in New York in mid-2012, passing songs back and forth turned into seriously focusing on a handful of tracks.
