Wet Sounds :: Fish Tacos

You’d be hard pressed to find a more apropos band name than Wet Sounds for an instrumental four piece exploring the framework of exotica guitar music. Proof? Look no further than new single, “Fish Tacos” — a track that equally invokes the fantasy world of Les Baxter’s utopian exotica, and Haruomi Hosono’s 1978 soundscape, Pacific. Doubling down on the aquatic ambiance, the tune also feels as if it could have been part of a lost score from filmmaker Jean Painlevé’s hypnotic underwater footage. 

Wet Sounds is a Los Angeles collective consisting of Yohei Shikano (My Hawaii), Will Ivy (Flat Worms), Sean Smith (LFZ), and Spencer Owen (Spencer Owen Timeshare). This new project is a collaborative effort where songwriting duties are shared and expanded on, with recording frequently taking place at Yohei’s outdoor “hut” recording space located in the hills of Mount Washington. As the group preps for a proper release, catch a show on the California coast next week, and pick up a copy of their tour-only cassette. | m neeley
