Wet - "You're Not Wrong"

Brooklyn’s Wet prepare for the release of their second album ‘Still Run’ on July 13th, with the first track ‘You’re Not Wrong’.

Boston trio Wet: plaintive, pop and glassy, ephemeral balladry, like some emotionally cathartic mirage informed by soft rock and R&B. They perfected this sound on “Deadwater,” the best song on their 2016 debut Don’t You. It’s quite pretty and often powerful. “You’re Not Wrong,” is the latest track to be previewed from their sophomore album Still Run, is almost certainly one of the jauntiest song in Wet’s discography. The song was produced by Rostam Batmanglij, whose own solo debut album featured Wet singer Kelly Zutrau. It’s a throwback to early rock and R&B, powered by a crisp backbeat, nifty bass, plinking piano, and occasional flashes of strings.

Like all Wet songs, “You’re Not Wrong” is quite pretty. Unlike most of them, it has a skip in its step.
