Last thing I heard from Wet Hair was a digitized version of their The Beach cassette and "Saturn," a blissful track by them from the Raven Sings the Blues compilation. Their newer record Dream (Not Not Fun LP/Release the Bats CD) was released in March and carries on with the same steady percussion/synth/organ/loop drones. First track "Cult Electric Annihilation," for example, morphs from bony skeleton to meaty flesh to nearly intelligible vocal articulation, building layer upon layer of nodding rhythms over the course of eight and a half minutes before easing into the next song.
Buy the CD here.
They're going to be playing in Northampton either Juy 2 (according to George Myers) or July 9 (according to the Wet Hair Myspace), but I'm not sure where yet.
Glass Fountain, Wet Hair's new "companion LP" to Dream, will be released sometime soon on Not Not Fun.
