Get Wet

Get Wet is the debut studio album by Krewella, released at the height of the North American EDM boom in 2013. It is a pivotal release that bridged the gap between the aggressive 'brostep' sound popularized by Skrillex and the melodic progressive house dominating radio airwaves. The album is notable for being the only full-length project to feature founding member and primary producer Kris 'Rain Man' Trindl, whose departure shortly after the release fundamentally altered the group's sonic trajectory. Musically, the record is a masterclass in maximalist production, featuring heavy side-chaining, distorted bass oscillators, and hyper-compressed drums. It successfully integrated vocal-driven songwriting into a genre often criticized for being faceless. Critical reception was mixed, with AllMusic noting its effective 'pop-dance' crossover appeal while some purists critiqued its commercial sheen. Despite the internal turmoil that followed, the album remains a commercial landmark, spawning several multi-platinum singles and cementing the duo's status as festival headliners.
