Wet share new video for "Don't Wanna Be Your Girl"

NYC three-piece Wet are showing off their new clip for lo-fi stinger "Don't Wanna Be Your Girl".

The pop dirge crackles and fizzes with raw power and a the faint horror of broken romance. Vocalist Kelly Zutrau embarks on a quest through the organic world in the video, directed by Beauty Today ("an annual print magazine that perverts conventions of sexuality and gender. Presenting nude photography, erotic fiction and illustrations").

Zutrau explained the reasoning behind the creative partnership:

“The music world is heavily populated with dudes, so we're really happy to collaborate with women whenever possible and it felt particularly right to have a female directed video for this song.

I went to Cooper Union with Clara and Sydney (Beauty Today) and have always had a lot of respect for their individual art practices. Clara and I had a painting show together in our junior year, and Sydney took photos for us this summer. Collaborating with them has always felt easy and generative. We are also big fans of Beauty Today so we were psyched when they wanted to work on this with us.

Working with friends whose visions we trusted made it easy to jump right into creating and capturing an intimate, intense space. I think that made a lot of sense for this song.”
