History
Wet is made up of members Kelly Zutrau, Joe Valle, and Marty Sulkow. The three met in New York through mutual friends while Sulkow and Valle were attending New York University and Zutrau was a student at Cooper Union.[5] Sulkow and Zutrau formed a band called Beauty Feast in 2007.[4] It grew to seven members but eventually dissolved.[4]
Zutrau went on to the Rhode Island School of Design but continued to write music.[4] Sulkow and Valle became involved with her work and in 2012 the group moved in together in Sulkow's apartment in Bed-Stuy.[4] The group began booking gigs around Brooklyn and posting music online, gaining attention around 2013. Wet signed with the boutique record label Neon Gold in 2013, releasing its self-titled EP later that same year.[4]
Neon Gold had a partnership with Columbia Records at the time Wet signed with them.[4] The label switched its partnership to Atlantic Records in 2014 and Wet subsequently signed with Columbia after fielding offers from numerous major labels.[4] The group moved to Western Massachusetts in 2014 where they began working on their debut album under Columbia.[4]
