Who are they? Rebooting the harddrive of indie rock programming, 100% Wet is an experimental duo consisting of the two producers and guitarists \u003cstrong\u003eJakob Birch\u003c\/strong\u003e (The Lost Weekend, Lovespeed) and \u003cstrong\u003eCasper Munns\u003c\/strong\u003e (Himmelrum, Drop, Splitscreen), featuring different vocalists including Eir (SE), Polly (DK) and Hockeysmith (UK).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlurring the boundaries between rock, electronica, and breakbeat-driven club music, the album is a genre-blend of shoegaze's vast soundscapes, the kinetic energy of drum'n'bass and the hard-hitting detail of hyperpop. \"\u003cem\u003eWhen we met, we both needed to approach music-making from a fresh perspective. We'd been exploring electronic production styles, and this album became our mutual attempt to create drum'n'gaze - a term Casper had coined to describe the missing fusion of shoegaze and drum and bass.\u003c\/em\u003e\" say Casper and Jakob.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe album is an exploration of contrasts - melancholy wrapped in euphoria, introspection communicated as explosion. Sonically, the band has worked with negative space in a loud-quiet-loud sense, mirrored thematically and emotionally: The album deals with stark contrasts. On hypergaze single Ether they describe the juxtaposed feelings of being in an altered state of mind - the perception of momentary bliss, while also experiencing everything at a dissociate remove. It is bitter-sweetness experienced in high contrast; golden euphoria tinged with an absolute monochromatic melancholy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eElsewhere, on Over Me, the duo mix a deep longing for life itself with utter heartbreak, both outerpoints sounding like they're soaring above the clouds, anchored by a roar of a chorus and deep subs. Whether on ballads or bangers, so to speak, the album is cohesive but utterly fresh-sounding.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crunchy Frog","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":51448317051211,"sku":"R2311-8878","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/p_8980d12a-31fd-427e-b87a-f6fa2d16f31a.jpg?v=1741968275"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/100-wet.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
