Track Of The Day 26/8 – Wet

'You're The Best'

Brooklyn's Wet know how to keep things subtle.

From that unassuming name to the gently emotive vocals, the trio seem to underplay their hand – and it's all the more effective for it.

Songwriting defined by shadow, lit by noir, comparisons have been made to The xx, Woman's Hour but, realistically, Wet occupy their own world.

Working on their debut album, the Brooklyn group have confirmed plans for a short trip to the UK. Before then, Clash is able to share a live version of 'You're The Best'.

Glacial pop with a spider-like guitar line, the poignant arrangement is set against a stunningly pure vocal. Shot by Naked Noise, you can check it out below.

Wet have confirmed the following London shows:

September
8 London The Social (Free entry)
11 London The Lexington (£6)
18 London Old Blue Last (Free entry)
25 London The Ace Hotel (Free entry)
