The Daily Choice: Wet Illustrated - Gypsy Town

Wet Illustrated’s “Gypsy Town” manages to do what so few up-beat bands can do these days: balance propulsive chirp with strong song-writing and a solid core of, well, something else.  ”Gypsy Town” kicks off with eager smiles and overwhelming hellos.  The vocals bust in and all of sudden your rushing down Wet Illustrated River trying to blink out the sunshine and grab ahold of anything to slow you down.  Halfway through though, the old river hits a lull, and the canopy stretches out above you, and you slowly open your eyes and sort of cool out in the darkness for a minute.  And then, boom, the river opens up in front of you and your dragged back in to the blistering catchiness of the song.

Wet Illustrated releases 1×1x1 on True Panther tomorrow October 25th.

San Francisco get out and see them November 17th at Amnesia with Tim Cohen. Seattle folk, get out and see them at Chop Suey with Devon Williams on the 20th of November.
