Pink Room [Limited Pink Glass]

Description

The alt-pop trios stripped-down EP plays almost like a series of demos, abandoning anything that gets in the way of singer Kelly Zutraus hushed melodies.

One moment Kelly Zutraus standing tall, shoulders back and chin high, and the next shes supine on the floor, unsure if shell ever stand again. The 34-year-old lead singer of the alt-pop trioWetwrites hopeful songs about heartbreak and loneliness, positioning despair as an enduring yet fleeting precursor to purpose. Im always interested in multiple feelings at once, Zutrau said in a recentinterview. Not just a happy song, but happy and sad and guiltythose can all be true. On their new EP,Pink Room,Wet forgo their trusted brand of synth-pop and make their most stripped-down songs yet, often leaving Zutrau alone with a guitar while she searches for reclamation. I know these things, they come and go, she repeats on Theres a Light. It sounds like shes singing a hymn, a lilting brightness that inflects even her saddest lines.
