Sugar & Gold - Get Wet! (2010)

With Get Wet!, the second album from San Francisco quintet Sugar & Gold, the band has turned in a complex and cerebral pop record that represents a huge step forward from their disco-tinged debut. Get Wet!’s expanded palette includes elements of Electro, 80’s R&B, New Wave Psychedelia, and German Minimalism, woven together in a framework of transcendent modern pop. If debut album Crème was the ultimate hookup record, Get Wet! represents the work that goes into keeping the relationship fresh and vital. Sometimes things are magical, and sometimes they are hard. And sometimes, shit just falls apart. Make no mistake, Sugar & Gold are still bringing the grooves and party vibe the way no others can, but if you look closely, you might spot a tear or two on the dance floor this time around.

Recorded throughout 2009 in between high profile US touring including sold out festival appearances at SXSW, CMJ, and Fun Fun Fun Fest (to name a few) and opening slots for kindred spirits !!! and Of Montreal, Get Wet! is a transcendent pop album that is as emotionally broad as it is stylistically eclectic, an album that will move every part of your body and spirit.
