Wetdogg: pssssssp… LP

I saw this artist live years ago and all but forgot about her, but I remember she was the best act on the bill that night. Here’s an LP out on a new-ish Detroit label which also put out an MGUN record. The music on this record is intimate bedroom electronics, reminding me of what Unicorn Hard-On used to do, or TALsounds. Lyrics are usually short and simple (“hold me close, don’t you know, you’re the one I want the most”), and the tracks are curious, minimal synth grooves. They don’t explode into neon colors but they have a unique sparkle and shimmer to them. “y can’t we b friends” is a sort of barroom conflict with an incredibly beautiful electropop melody. The second side is a bit more techno-ish, and “dream last night” is a really beautiful, woozy dub-soul track. “signal” is also pretty, if less memorable. “wetdoggs beat” is a playful little tune repeating a sample of the project’s name.
