Wetwire introducing new studio album: Sunshine Distraction

October 2020 - Wetwire is a distinctively diverse creative project featuring a passionate and artful trans couple. Their vision is to come up with catchy, yet understated and one-of-a-kind songs that set the bar higher by blending different production styles together in order to form a characterful aesthetic concept.

From the ambiance and depth of artists such as Brian Eno and Jon Hopkins, down to the vast and soaring sonic landscapes of artists like Phaelah and OTT, anything goes. Their most recent studio album, “Sunshine Distraction,” features 8 tracks, which stretch outwards across time and space, offering a fully immersive experience. Most of the songs have an IDM core, but there is room for other influences, including chill-wave, ambient, as well as psychedelic music. What makes the album stand out is the contrast between crisp rhythm sections and atmospheric sounds, beautifully merging into one another to create a memorable listening experience fort the audience. From catchy parts, down to more cinematic moments, the possibilities are endless on this release.  The song “Out of Darkness” is undoubtedly one of the highlights of this release, with its extraordinary synth bass lines and new-wave type beat. There is also room for some electric guitar, bringing a more organic feel to this release. “Uncertain Future” is another stand-out moment, which combines industrial soundscapes with space-age melodies that feel diverse and spacious. These are only two of the most notable moments from the album, although each song offers a wide smorgasbord of true ear-candy moments to dive deeper into! The album has a really special approach to production, with a sound that feels clear and sophisticated, yet warm and organic, due to the addition of some warm saturation and other production ideas. In addition to the world-class production aesthetics, the album is also lifted up with the artist’s remarkable flautist, displaying a very dynamic playing style that brings energy and vibrancy to the table, seamlessly blurring the lines between different styles and ideas.

Sunshine Distraction

Our song for the unspoken that needs to be said. Big bass meets funk.

It's so important to be able to speak our truth to the implicit bias of the inherent patriarchy of our world.

Uncertain Future

“Out of Darkness” is a track with a unique mood, and it represents Wetwire’s creative range, and broad sonic scope.

What’s special about is that it has a really distinctive approach to the production, not exactly lo-fi, but capturing that warmth, darkness and feel that gives lo-fi music and trip-hop inspired composition that one-of-a-kind touch.

Out Of Darkness

In our most recent work, conflicts, awarenesses and isorhythmic conflicts are all used within influentially-polytimbral sonorities, allowing you, the audience to juxtapose a variety of intellectual oppositions. Our goal, in essence, is to layer musical tonalities into an anamorphic cumulus. This part is the single most important element in any of our technological compositiosn, and our own work seeks to explore (and premiere) this in the context of 'method-possibility-octaves'. Our triadic collaborations have led us to explore the predominant potential of meanings and frequencies, and transcribe the creation of situations in which the contextualizing of our analog solos has the potential to present all sorts of literal palette-expressions. To put it concisely, the fragmentary forms of any given pitch-set must never clash with the ultimately isomorphic endeavour of premiering relationships wherever possible. Thus, a Cumulus is formed.
